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?
I’d pay the $10/yr premium if you can swing it. The emergency contact recovery feature alone was more than worth it to me.
For 2FA, I highly recommend Aegis. I switched from both Google and Microsoft authenticator apps earlier this year and it’s been great. I have the backups running automatically and it dumps it into a folder the Seafile is syncing for me. So not only do I have the backups on the server, but on the clients as well. Seafile is then backed up to an encrypted B2 bucket for further redundancy.
