Right now, I’m using Bitwarden’s official instance, and I am bothered that I have to use Google’s Authenticator app separately for TOTP. Yes, there’s also Aegis and 2FAS, but I have no idea about WebDAV servers and also don’t want to rely on Google Drive for backup, also because I’m moving away from Google services.

I’m planning to run Vaultwarden on a free instance of render.com, and I wanted to know if this was a good idea? Has anyone over here tried this?

What would happen if Render changes their plans and I lose access to the database? Will I still have access to the last-stored cache on my browser extension and mobile phone? And since I’m running a Rust infrastructure, would it use less of the free plan bandwidth that Render assigns?

Do I also need to purchase a domain? Or can I access the app with Render-affixed URL?

    If your only issue are the backups, then you can still use aegis with automatic encrypted backup to a folder in your device and then use syncthing to automatically send it to your machine. From there use any other backup solution like duplicati or restic.
    (Remember that syncthing is not a backup solution, it should only be used as a way to automatically sync files between devices) (People have had many issues with duplicate, but I’ve only seen posts about huge amounts of data, for something like aegis backups has been working fine for me)

    I’d also recommend you asking in !selfhosted@lemmy.world
