Bitwarden

Currently I have Bitwarden accounts, great for normal people, sigh. We have a family account. I paid the $10 and found out the upgrade affected only my login. They want another $10 for Julie.

I wonder also how long before a breach? So I am migrating to Vaultwarden, the self-hosted version.

There is an official opensource release but it uses more resources so I am trying out this one. It worked for Clatsop County so I think it should be okay for two people.

How I expect things to go:

  1. Export data from Bitwarden to files.
  2. Spin up Vaultwarden in Docker.
  3. Create accounts.
  4. Import data.

Export

Docker setup

This is easy, since it's the preferred way to host Vaultwarden.

I am using a Cloudflare zero trust tunnel.

Create a hostname for the new server. Set that up in Cloudflare.

Account creation

One for Julie, one for me.

Import

Test

Make sure TOTP works

Make sure access from outside works

Back up

Protect the data by copying it out somewhere in a human readable format. Like, to a thumb drive that I can carry with me at all times.
