I've had a "home lab server" for a while now, it's nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don't know what to do with it... I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server... I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)... Any ideas for other things I can run on it?

I switched from keepass to vaultwarden (self hosted bitwarden) and am glad I tried it out as am finding it so much better on all my devices. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're just looking to tinker with things

a quick search on the net did not answer my question...

therefore:

do you use it also outside your lan? (with port forwarding, ssl cert etc.)

if no, are you able to use the passwords nonetheless on your phone even when youre not in our lan?

Yes, I have it under a subdomain I own on cloudflare. Then it's behind nginx proxy manager on my server which takes care of the ssl too. I have fail2ban too so consider it enough security for if the user passwords are long enough. You can set minimum lengths if letting others use it, or in my case I helped family set it up and made them have strong passwords.

Like others have said, the apps cache everything locally. I have used it without issues with no mobile Internet (e.g. for my cc pin numbers I store on there when i was out in the country with crap reception). I guess you're more likely to create accounts at home anyway but if you have to when out, it would sync whenever you have it back on the lan.

but if you have to when out, it would sync whenever you have it back on the lan.

thanks. this was the information I was hoping for. I am stuck with a mobile internet router where I am not able (or at least Im not smart enough) to forward a port. therefore my RPi would sit behind the firewall in my LAN.

nevertheless vaultwarden would be an upgrade from my current keepass/syncthing system. (also because the UI and autofill works better)
