This seems crazy to me. I have a home server and host lots of my own stuff. But a password manager is tier-0, it cannot fail me.

I need to access my accounts while I'm overseas - in fact I'm prompted for passwords far more often when I cross borders. I need my passwords at urgent moments like when I need to make a large bank transfer. I need passwords unexpectedly at all times when sessions expire or I need a new session for a device I've never logged in with.

If my home server went down for any reason at these critical moments it could be extremely bad. There are some kinds of outages I can't recover from without physically attending my server. And if I'm not very very careful there are some kinds of failures I cannot recover from at all - I have a working backup solution but so did every company that lost customer data before.

And this doesn't even touch on the security risk of hosting a database of credentials on a publicly available endpoint.

I need a trust hosted solution.
