If you don't want to pay $10/year for Premium, you can still host Vaultwarden instead and get the features for free.

[citation needed] in my opinion. Yes, the current self-hosting method is rather complex, but still not that difficult to set up. Just follow their guide.

They are even working on a new "unified" deployment method [1] where you can choose your own DB and all the Bitwarden containers are merged into one. The resulting docker-compose.yml looks as simple as any other service I self-host. Why would they do this if what you said were true?
