Vaultwarden!!! There's lots of nice things that may or may not be good for you depending on your needs. But vaultwarden is straight up essential.
I self host like 20 services, but I'm way too scared to host my own password manager.
If I have any issues and the data for any of my services gets wiped, I'll be annoyed but I'll be fine. If I was self hosting Vaultwarden and my data got wiped, it'd be extremely frustrating.
Vaultwarden keeps an encrypted file local to the device you access it from, like your phone, and if the instance goes down you're still able to access them but not add new ones. This let's you export the file into a replacement instance.
Had this happen to me and I lost all my servers data, but regardless of a sever it keeps a local file which I imported to my new homelab
Was a bit of a concern to me but I have vw-backup running that backs up my vaultwarden config, and I use duplicati to send the backups to b2 storage so even if my entire nas blew up and was a total loss I would be able to get the data.
I also use duplicati to send a copy of the config to a vps so I can spin up a DR instance of vaultwarden if needed so I've got 3 copies of the data.
3-2-1-Backup-Rule. This is the way!
