    I’ve had some trouble with NextCloud as well. For me it just feels sluggish and bloated.

    Someone in another thread here said “NextCloud can do everything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well” and that seems to mirror my experience with it for the most part.

    Of all the self-hosted containers I’ve set up NextCloud gave me the most trouble

    I have both set up right now.

    Things I like better about KeePass:

    KeePass doesn’t use the cloud, you don’t have to worry about the server getting compromised or going down because there’s nothing public-facing to hack. You always know where your password database is.

    KeePass lets you encrypt the database with not only the master password but also using the challenge-response from a YubiKey. That means every time you save your DB the encryption key is rotated and the DB is actually encrypted by two authentication factors.

    While both can add custom fields to an entry, I like that KeePass has the option to set fields as protected so their contents are hidden like the passwords.

    Things I like better about VaultWarden:

    Convenience.

    You can log in to your VaultWarden account on any device from the browser. KeePass requires some software to access the DB.

    The VaultWarden companion software is just better. It just does autofill better. KeePassXC/DX work well but just not as well as the BitWarden software.

    Other thoughts:

    Syncing passwords between devices with KeePass requires 3rd party software like SyncThing. If you break/lose/etc your VaultWarden server you could lose all your passwords with it.

    Always make/test backups.








  • If anyone wants to see your shit they can install something on your telephone pole that can supercede a VPN anyway.

    False.

    My WireGuard VPN uses pre-verified encryption keys and all data between the nodes is encrypted with them.

    Nothing (whether put there by the cell carrier, public wifi provider, or some gang member who climbed the telephone pole) can decrypt that communication except the devices which already have the keys.

    I’m not sure what makes you think VPN security is moot, but you are misinformed.

    Using a VPN is always more secure than not using one, particularly if you control the server on the other end.

    The only time a VPN wouldn’t help is if your device itself is compromised at which point you have other problems than a VPN anyway
