I just used a Cloudflare Tunnel.

The backup and easy set up on other servers is not necessarily super useful for a homelab but a huge selling point for the enterprise level. You can make a VM template of your host with docker set up in it, with your Compose definitions but no actual data. Then spin up as many of those as you want and they’ll just download what they need to run the images. Copying VMs with all the images in them takes much longer.

And regarding the memory footprint, you can get that even lower using podman because it’s daemonless. But it is a little more work to set things up to auto start because you have to manually put it into systemd. But still a great option and it also works in Windows and is able to parse Compose configs too. Just running Docker Desktop in windows takes up like 1.5GB of memory for me. But I still prefer it because it has some convenient features.

I got firstlast.info (it used to be cheap)

Realistically, I only see 3 risks using Keeper: my device has malware which lets them grab my passwords from my clipboard as I copy them, malware that lets them take control of my device after I’ve unlocked my password manager, or if the cloud storage is completely wiped out in some freak accident.

1 and 2 are risks for anyone using any password manager. And 3 is extremely unlikely since they use AWS for storage wirh multi-zone and multi-region redundancy, and certainly much more reliable than self hosting.

The risk of actually having your passwords cracked, even if the cloud data is leaked, is practically 0 as long as you have a decent complexity and length master password and 2FA enabled. And the risk is just as low with a MITM attack or other network based interceptors because of the ZK architecture (as you mentioned) and high encryption used.

Anyone promoting other password managers as more secure either aren’t considering the risks to data loss due to self hosting or are buying too much into their password manager’s marketing. I think it’s totally reasonable to prefer other options due to feature support or subscription price though. A couple of features that Keeper had that made me choose it were:

• Ability to create Records which allows me to store anything including files. This allows me to upload sensitive records like tax returns or other documents you’d traditionally keep in a safe or filing cabinet.
• Family plan that makes it easy for me to share passwords with people on my plan (great for things like streaming services). This brought the price to a reasonable level.

There might be other password managers now that support these features, as I haven’t kept up with them. I subscribed to Keeper about 6 years ago and haven’t had a reason to switch. I’m open to suggestions if people know of other managers with better features.

I’ve been happy with Keeper

Seconded. But for more details… it’s great because you can throw in many different drives of different sizes, unlike RAID servers where every drive has to be the same size. You can also specify however much you want to use as parity (backup) drives.

It has a nice web interface that you can access from any other PC on your LAN. I also have mine set up with Unraid Connect which allows me to access it from the open web also. It has a strong password and 2FA so I’m not concerned about security.

It also makes it easy to serve Docker containers and full blown VMs. You can set them up right in the UI, or you can also SSH to it and use it as a normal Linux OS if you’re a power user. The web UI also has a button that’ll launch a SSH terminal in a separate window too.

You can just use it as a NAS if you want, but Unraid makes it easy to expand your capabilities if you later feel like it. For example, you are only a few button clicks away from running Jellyfin to provide a nice UI for all your media files that you may be storing on your NAS.
