  • Not really directly answering your question here so feel free to ignore me. But if I’m understanding right your setup sounds like a more complicated way of doing what I am.

    I put tailscale on all my devices. And in every docker compose for the ports I do. TailscaleIP:hostport:containerport

    So nothing can be access on local network at all. Only through tailscale. Which I can access from any of my devices locally or remotely without opening a port. All E2E encrypted I’m pretty sure. The only con is having to trust tailscale.

    I do keep Plex port open for friends though.

    I self-host a lot of stuff. But password manager just feels risky to me. Like what if I mess up and lose all my data or something.

    With bitwarden being encrypted and all I just didn’t see any down side to using their server. Plus more convenient since I don’t have to VPN to use it. Or open a port.

    All of that just to ask. Am I missing something? Should I be self-hosting it? I wondered about using both so I’d have a backup ether way. Or in case their servers go down for awhile. But that’s super rare.


  • Since I use a good password manager. And use TOTP on everything I can. Which admittedly I do store in my password manager as well. I don’t think passkey really improves security very much in my case.

    That being said though I’m a big fan of passkeys and use them everywhere I can. But I don’t store them on devices only in my password manager. So I don’t have to worry about if I lose a device.

    I think where passkeys really shine though is for people who still aren’t using a password manager. While I’ve tried to get everyone I know using bitwarden most still don’t. And the ones that do still don’t have half of there accounts in it. They are still reusing passwords across multiple sites. So I think passkeys will massively increase security for the majority of ppl. And for those of us using password managers I still think its a slight improvement to convenience.


  • Not really a answer to your question but I thought it might help.

    I tried the next cloud setup since I already self-host a bunch. And I didn’t like it. Like you said updates can mess it up and sharing is annoying. Just in general it was buggy for me.

    So I switched to proton. Which even though is hosted on someone else computer, it feels plenty private to me with the E2E encryption. I use proton drive which is easy to share things just like google drive. I use proton Calendar. And I use proton Email. Its slow progress but proton really seems to be fully replacing google for me. They even just added live collaboration to drive. Which was like the one thing I still use google drive for sometimes.
