  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

  • Also a stand-alone user since 1pw4. This news finally got me to try pass, the command-line utility.

    https://www.passwordstore.org/

    The format is plain text. You can git control your password repo. You can organize into directories, etc.

    It has an extension architecture; you can have it generate otps, for example. You can have specific passwords unlock with more than 1 key, if you want to do eg. family or business sharing.

    There are mobile apps, browser plugins. None as smoothly polished as 1pw, but good ENOUGH. There are (imperfect) tools for migrating, but you can write your own scripts.

    So far (using it for 48 hours) the worst part was setting up a gpg key.

  • vaultwarden

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

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Nextcloud

    ☁️ Nextcloud server, a safe home for all your data

  • KeePass ( https://keepass.info/ ) with something like Nextcloud ( https://nextcloud.com/ ) or any other solution for syncing password databases across devices.

    Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates are free, as is Apache/Nginx/Caddy to reverse proxy Nextcloud or any other solution (if a web based interface is needed). You might also need something like ngrok ( https://ngrok.com/ ) for publically accessing the instance if you're behind NAT and are hosting it on a homelab, or alternatively just put it on one of the VPSes that you're using, if you have any.

    Personally i'm using a similar setup (a WireGuard VPN tunnel or two in there as well) on my pre-existing VPSes, so the effective costs are 0$ for me. And the file based approach is actually superior to any (possibly) dubious browser plugins in my eyes.

  • KeePass2.x

    unofficial mirror of KeePass2.x source code

  • buttercup-core

    :tophat: The mighty NodeJS password vault

  • I feel like Buttercup [1] doesn't get enough attention. Open source, available on all platforms, and has imports from multiple other password managers. If several people offered a small monthly donation for some time, we'd all be in a more competitive situation with password manager companies whose interests drift from our own through time.

  • docker

    ⛴ Docker image of Nextcloud (by nextcloud)

  • And then, set up Nextcloud: https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud (probably 20 minutes)

  • caddy-docker

    Source for the official Caddy v2 Docker Image

  • Then, set up something like Caddy for a reverse proxy: https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy (probably 20 minutes)

  • 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.

  • docker-swag

    Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.

  • Here's a link to swag, if anyone hasn't heard of it before: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag

    It does seem like an interesting and useful project, though there are also other more popular alternatives like Caddy: https://caddyserver.com/ (even though their V2 not being backwards compatible was a tad annoying)

    Oh, and some people also have pretty good luck with software like Traefik: https://traefik.io/traefik/

    Apart from that, just wanted to say that WireGuard is absolutely lovely! Pretty simple to set up, works well and uses way less resources than something like OpenVPN.

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS
