  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • vaultwarden

    Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs

  • Vaultwarden does not implement the secrets manager. It does implement the password manager.

    Vaultwarden does not have 100% of all the features that Bitwarden has. To name an example, SSO is missing: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/pull/3154

  • Bitwarden

    The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc). (by bitwarden)

  • At least part of the source code seems to be here: <https://github.com/bitwarden/server/tree/master/src/Core/Sec...>.

    The license is not clear to me: is the Secret Manager a “Bitwarden server”, or is it “Commercial.Core”? <https://github.com/bitwarden/server/blob/master/LICENSE_FAQ....>.

    I hope Bitwarden don’t follow the recent “open source but only if you pay and we unilaterally terminate the contract with you if you exercise the terms of the open source license” approach RedHat is doing lately.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • clients

    Bitwarden client applications (web, browser extension, desktop, and cli)

  • /bitwarden_license directory

    Now the secret manager is in the `bitwarden_license` directory so it is not a GPL covered product and not open source but covered by BITWARDEN LICENSE AGREEMENT [3]. It does not allow you to use it as OSS.
