Looking for some advice here. I am generally happy with KeePassXC (switching from browser-remembered passwords was a big step forward for me), but I have a feeling that it might not be a perfect solution for me.

I have four devices that are being used on almost-daily basis: - work PC - home PC, - laptop, - smartphone

work and home PCs are often on at the same time leading to a situation where I have KeePassXC database open - it happens I just leave home/work without closing / locking the database (or it prompts database modified - save?) which might lead to some desync scenarios (it already happened to me).

So I think I need something that will not keep local database as KeePassXC does, but will use online store. I am not a big cloud fan, so would prefer to host in on my own infra.

My requirements: - self-hosted - online (some API-based), - cross-platform (at least Windows/Android but with Linux in mind) - browser-aware completion (similar to KeePassXC) - Firefox + maybe chrome,

Is bitwarden a way to go? Or is there something better?

Hi check out my comment right in the thread right above yours... :-D

Don't know if KeepassXC has the same functionality as Keepass, but they provide an option to use a LocalDB/MasterDB synchronization [0]. This could help preventing desync problems.

Thanks, will have a look at this.
