Me and some friends have each been hosting vaultwarden casually for years now. What problem do you see? I mean if the Server goes down and gets completely corrupted, worst case, all my devices still have the version of the vault they recently used. Technically every device has it's own backup of the vault.

If I stay offline for more than 30 days, can I still access my local passwords? Honest question, because if that's the case it's nice, but I think you'd need to somehow authenticate before accessing your local vault.

  • Thanks for making me check. Did not know this: "Offline Vault sessions will expire after 30 days. Except for mobile client applications, which will expire after 90 days." But for me that is enough time to feel safe, still will do backups regularly.

  • If you’re self-hosting,

    and not using their official clients,

    your database stays functional in perpetuity.

You need a VPS, correct? Are there any concerns about hardening your VPS from attackers? I worry about my ability to harden a public - facing service that is handling something so critical for myself.
