True, but as I shared in Original Post, I like to keep my 2FA separate from my Password Manager for additional security. But you did give a great idea. I’ll try to run 2 separate instances of Vaultwarden 1 for Password Manager ans 2nd for 2Fa only, I’ll check how that works out and update it here. Thanks tho.
Authy is great, but I really wanna selfhost 2FA, as I did personally ran into issue back in 2019 or 2020 where Microsoft Authenticator suddenly lost 2FA cloud sync backup so I had to send my Legal ID proof for multiple accounts for them to disable 2FA, while I still didn’t recover my old Instagram account as face verification kept on failing and Meta’s human support is nonexistent, and this happened for multiple users on Microsoft Authenticator and was showered with negative reviews on play store back then. Since then I dont trust Cloud Sync for any thing, so I did use Aegis and did auto backups and sync on that,but currently I’m looking for something simple for my parents which can Autosync without them worrying about restoring backups, where they can just login and use.

Agreed. I’m using Aegis already, but looking for something to work more like Vaultwarden with Autosync for my parents mainly complete details mentioned here : https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1142860
Yes actually I’m personally using Aegis rn, but I’m okay with backing up and having backup sync elsewhere, and then do the restore if I switch or something.
But I’m actually looking for Selfhosted solution for my sibling and parents as they are not that tech savvy, so it would be headache for them to think about backup, sync and restore. they need something which is a simple login and go solution like Vaultwarden (bitwarden) with Automatic server sync, where they can enter a link or use app to access it.
This one seems to be the most updated amongst all the recommendations here

Works well for me, on Openmediavault Debain 11
Use tailscale as it is easy to setup, and just with 1 or 2 commands you can have it setup to forward subnets (which can let you use the same local IPs remotely to connect back, instead of Tailscale assigned once) and Exit Node (route all your internet traffic from your Home connection when you are on public network and enable exit note on client)
Glad to know, I was able to help ya avoid that cost. We should be thanking the Dev’s baby, as it helped us all to protect our privacy and our pockets 🤣.
Yes its basically selfhosted Google Photos instance kinda thing. There is a great story the Dev shared once, he was paranoid about backing up things to Google or Apple cloud as they have history of sharing it with Feds. So Dev won’t like his family pictures on such platforms, so when him and his partner were to have a baby, he started working on immich, so by the time baby arrives he’ll have a safe platform to backup family pictures.
True for users who are already setup with Plex, for them there is no reason to switch as of now, but for a person starting from scratch and setting up things for the first time, it makes a lot of sense to get Jellyfin instead of going Plex. As Plex is moving away from their core of making user’s media available for streaming, and rather focuses in pushing its own streaming content (I know we can toggle that behavior off but it is headache fot new comers, and it should be off by default and if a person likes they can turn on Plex’s streaming content, default should be the user’s content)
Stay away from Plex, if you like to go with Free and Open source.
I’ll start with Jellyfin, and Arr family (sonarr,radarr,prowlarr or Jackett), Vaultwarden and immich
Edit: Learn to spin up docker instances first, as above services would be easier to manage in docker containers and for back ups I prefer Duplicati. And if you run it 24x7 add AdguardHome or PiHole to the mix
Edit1: if you are extremely new to docker instances and find it hard to learn, just spin up CasaOS and you’ll be good to go as it makes spinning up docker containers so easy.
Even my edit doesn’t reflect here in title for lemmy.ml while I corrected poat to post in the original post (using fediverse link)
Lol I just came up with such crazy idea 45 mins ago while replying to another comment , here I went crazier and thought of whole 2fa instance instead of account : https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1144220
