  Thank you. Any reason why they wouldn’t make it more apparent from their homepage? I’m always interested in self-hosted solutions, and even I ducked out of there after seeing only subscription plans being offered.

    A software’s website and docs are very telling, aren’t they? It’s like a cultural thing from the creators, some open source software will always be more business oriented, others are more helpful towards homelab /self-hosting users.

    …why would they? Self-hosting loses them business.

      Has that killed Bitwarden yet? There are many self-hosted projects that also have paid options.

      I’d be happy with a paid (one-time fee) license for a self-hosted option with any software. Subscriptions should only be paying for data/storage, and if that’s offloaded to the customer’s local hardware, there’s no need to keep them on a subscription.

      Especially for a product that’s privacy-first, that really should include a self-hosted option (paid or otherwise).

        I didn’t say anything about “killing”.
