My path to EU hosted Bitwarden instance with some hiccups and tips
Overall if you want free and open-source password manager you don't have many options - Proton Pass, Bitwarden or Passbolt could be for you

Alternatives:
Vaultwarden for self hosting.
1Password for Canadian (Hi 😄)
Bitwarden is great and easy to use. And provides to FOSS community although is not fully free.

+1 for Vaultwarden, there are lots of open and free Vaultwarden Instances (for example https://vault.vaultwarden.net/) already hosted and they provide ALL premium-features of Bitwarden and work with all the Bitwarden-Apps and -Extensions out of the box. I use it daily and everywhere, all my devices sync from the online vault and thanks to complete data encryption the data stored in the open vault isn't even readable by the vault hoster themself.

This can't get enough traction.

I don't need "traction". I need shit to work well, and securely so - unlike cloud-based password managers, which are high-value targets by design and get hacked every other week.

KeePassXC

Strongbox.
An up-to-date keepass UI for macOS.

Isn't Bitwarden Inc., which was US-based the last time I checked, the same entity that controls and runs both official Bitwarden instances?

Have a private filesharing/syncing service (i.e. Nextcloud). Have a KeepassXC file on it. Have KeepassXC browser extensions for password autofill.
Unless you need to host and manage a password manager for multiple people this approach is much simpler and more resilient.

Thank you for posting, I didn't know there was a EU instance. I've just applied the procedure and successfully migrated!

Awesome! Glad it helped

Quick question: does the export also include passkeys? I suppose so but I would rather be sure before migrating.

I don’t think so, by design.
