I’m looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven’t found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.
Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?
Currently I’m using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.
FYI, if you run vaultwarden using docker compose with your data volume as a folder, all you have to do is bring it down for like 1minute, make a backup of the folders, and bring it back up. I use a cron script to do this nightly. When my vps host went out of business, I restored my docker folder to a new vps and was up and running again in a couple minutes. Also, you could easily restore it to a virtual machine, if you like. Docker with compose is extremely portable.
Stupid q but why is the stop/start necessary? I’m running VW (and a dozen other things) thru docker on a synology dsm and it performs backups daily+monthly. Is it actually necessary to stop the container just to copy it?
I’ve read that best practice is to do a database dump, in addition to backing up all the data files. It’s my understanding that there’s a slight chance of corrupting something in the database if you don’t stop the service first, since something could be changed while you’re doing your backup.
The easiest solution for me, as well as for being able to just restore my files and start the service again somewhere else, is to stop, backup, and restart. It’s down for less than 5 minutes while i’m asleep. If I expected better uptime than that I wouldn’t be trying to self host.
