P.P.S Do not make a self-hosted password manager your first project. You should expect one of these first projects to absolutely eat shit for reasons you don't fully understand yet, and having it be your daily-driver password manager would be a hell of a shitty weekend.

hell of a shitty weekend.

LOL I have tossed the idea around about selfhosting a password manager, and while I am fairly confident in my server's security, I finally conclude not to.

Very good advice, also backup daily and test for backups often !!!!
