But I want it so badly! All i need to figure out is:
reverse proxys (I stumbled through getting one caddy instance setup so far but gosh I struggle with that also, nginx proxy manager seems like my next step)
a rock solid backup/restore setup (but first I need to figure out where the vaultwarden alpine files live, then be able to get those off of the proxmox vm)
this is more of a vent, than a request for someone to spell it all out for me. But I wouldn’t be upset if anyone had the time to point me in the right direction for me.
Would it just be easier to run a keypass XC and syncthing setup?
Nginx proxy manager made it pretty easy.
Just pay for BitWarden maybe? It’s cheap.
Dirt cheap actually. But still I’m setting up a self hosted version. I suppose that’s why we’re here.
“self hosted” not “cheapest”
It is literally the product OP is struggling to host and understand. Nothing wrong with saving yourself the struggle and recover time by just buying the official product.
Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.
I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.
It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.
Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.
Not sure if this is a path you’d want to follow but I use it with Cloudflare tunnels.
Easier? Yes, definitely. Maybe work on the Vaultwarden stuff in parts, instead of all in one go.
Also, if you’re using Proxmox, you might just back up your whole VM to PBS. That’s how I do it. But that takes a bit of work to set up on its own.
So I use reverse proxies etc with my containers for others services
But KeePass with rsync is easier for passwords. I just use termux on my phone
