Hey! I would like to selfhost a password manager but I can’t decide which one to use. I am looking to use it only locally. I really like the UIs of Padloc and Passbolt. For passbolt to work properly I would need a mailserver, right? I do not want to set up a mailserver. Do I need one to selfhost Padloc?
I already tried to set up the Padloc Docker Container, but it gives me some errors. Maybe, there is another package for Padloc selfhost? Like a deb or snap package?
Do you have any other recommendations for which one to use? Maybe one thats NOT a docker container? Any other tips?
Thanks for reading this, looking forward to reading your answers & opinions! :)
There is a workaround for the passbolt mailserver configuration and a good reason behind it, you can see both here: https://www.reddit.com/r/passbolt/comments/uct0v1/comment/i6d7id6/
You can also use a free gmail account if you want the benefits of using passbolt with the mailserver configured without having to set up your own: https://help.passbolt.com/configure/email/smtp-authentication.html#google
Passbolt also has a variety of installation options other than a docker container: https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install
I do work at passbolt. Just wanted to share this information in case it’s helpful. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
