Self-host a password manager on OpenBSD

       1006 words, 5 minutes

I’ve been using Rubywarden to store and access my passwords from OpenBSD workstations and iOS toys. But recent redondant failures from the iOS App and rubywarden not being maintained anymore led to the need for a new solution. I was investing on pass+pgp+git but it was quite complex.

       1495 words, 8 minutes

I already run Domoticz using a Synology package and a couple of docker containers. But this is complicated to maintain. And the Syno App doesn’t seem to be updated frequently.
