Vaultwarden has such a steep learning curve (lemmy.world)

But I want it so badly! All i need to figure out is:

reverse proxys (I stumbled through getting one caddy instance setup so far but gosh I struggle with that also, nginx proxy manager seems like my next step)

a rock solid backup/restore setup (but first I need to figure out where the vaultwarden alpine files live, then be able to get those off of the proxmox vm)

this is more of a vent, than a request for someone to spell it all out for me. But I wouldn't be upset if anyone had the time to point me in the right direction for me.

Would it just be easier to run a keypass XC and syncthing setup?

Great points, as someone who is very happy with their current home automation and services, checking in the config files to a git repo was the critical step. Also backup volumes since many containers tend to store state in some binary or internal DB. At the very least try restoring the config to verify you have what’s needed. The containers should start even if they have no media on it.

In terms of tinkering not being fun anymore. That’s okay, sometimes you need a break.

A point that is sometimes not brought up enough in my opinion is to plan for loses. What can you afford to lose if you can’t backup everything (due to price, etc.)? config files and photos or personal data are relatively small (compared to something like a media library) and should be prioritized.
