Local Password apps other than Keepass and gopass

A lot of people combine keepass with syncthing to sync between devices. Syncthing can be set to keep multiple versions, rather than deleting. It could be a good option for you if you want the ability to revert to an earlier one. You can also put it in a cloud provider since the file by itself isn’t very useful, assuming you have a good password.

Online password managers work for the vast majority of situations, so I wouldn’t feel too bad if you outsource this one. Not losing all your passwords is indeed the first priority here.

From what I’ve seen, Podman isn’t that complicated by the way. You basically just get a mini minimal OS and you tell it what folders it can use, I think by default it shares home. It handles the container part and it’s only needed on the server. Personally I would pick a different computer than my desktop to run the server, just to keep things simple and have as few things running on the server as possible. I’m planning to do this, but only because I don’t like the keepass UI. Vaultwarden is probably overkill for one person.
