Vaultwarden is a lot easier to self host than Bitwarden
But like all community-made open source stuff, If you want to use it for "production" stuff you should invest in audits and contribute/fund development

I've been self-hosting Bitwarden (and giving them money) for a few years now, it is really easy with Docker and a reverse proxy. What kind of challenges did you encounter with Bitwarden?
Vaultwarden uses fewer resources and runs fine on a $5 digital ocean VPS where I had some issues with Bitwarden. I hardly have to remember that I'm running it myself.
Resource usage is a fair point. My home computer is 64 cores and 1TB RAM so I don't even notice Bitwarden running.
Last time i checked you needed a MS SQL db...

"All Bitwarden self-hosted server deployments, except for unified, ship with an MSSQL Express image by default."
There is a new Unified one that can use SQLite and other options. I have been using that one for a year or more

For real? That would mean a requirement for a software license that costs about $1,000 for the cheapest option.
It is all included in their Docker compose file.
