I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Vaultwarden is pretty game changing. No more reusing passwords and they aren't in the cloud.

This is a rare one for which i wouldnt bother self hosting; i trust the centralized server provider, i can take an offline backup of my passwords and it only costs $10. And im the sort to run my own email server because i don't trust the cloud providers.

I second your opinion about not selfhosting Bitwarden. About email, have a look at Proton mail. All the emails are encrypted in the server and are decripted client side with your password only when you open them.

Why though? Just host it in your private network and use a VPN for occasional syncing.

Vaultwarden is super easy. I've not had a single problem with it and I've been running it for a couple years.

I second this, bonus points if you get a domain through Cloudflare and use their tunnel service to access shrike away from home!

This is a great one and to add it also allows for secure notes, 2FA and sending files securely.

yeah, password manager for me. love it. I am looking at using the home assistant addon to manage it now, it may make life a little easier.
