PSA: the bitwarden clients got an upgrade that makes them incompatible with vaultwarden

Such bugs have already appeared in the past. It's only logical that this happens from time to time, as the creators of bitwarden don't test the compatobility with 3rd party servers.

What is important is that they're not deliberately blocking vaultwarden.

Passbolt pales in comparison. The fact I can only get the android app from google play. No thanks. That is a deal breaker right there. I am working towards moving 100% off from google play.

After quickly spinning up a container of it; it feels very unpolished and can't say it will replace Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for me.

The mark of a quality developer is not the lack of problems, but the way they respond to them. Any project in active development for a long time is going to run into breaking issues from time to time just because technical debt accrues and memories are short.

The ability to fix a problem, publicly own up to the cause/fix and work to prevent future issues like it are the best we can ask for.

Bitwarden has been in decline for a while. This is definitely not the first sign.

I hadn't heard of this one before, thanks for posting.

Edit: this website is very strange. The article is dated 5th June 2019 and the other "case studies" are dated to look like they've been writing regularly since 2019 up until now. But the article reads like LLM output, and the waybackmachine has no record of this article before December 2025, and no record of the domain name henricodolfing.ch before April 2025. The whois database says that the domain was registered in January 2025. So are they really trying to launder slop by back-dating it to make it look like it was written before LLMs existed? Fuck.

I run watchtower on a cron schedule. It had already fired for today, so it wouldn't have run again until tomorrow. I could have waited, but manual is just as easy.

Homepage is my main front end/landing page for reaching/monitoring all my services; but I've got both my dockge instances linked together as well, so all my services show up in both.

i'm in shadowzone's house right now and vaultwarden's working great :3

Yah that's possible. I just implemented telegram for now. But depending on the open api like matrix should work for sure as well. Has signal also an open client api?

Yeah escargot just doesn't do it for me. I want to keep using the existing chat network I use daily. But just giving back the MSN vibes.

I created it using gtk4. So it's cross platform as well. Meaning Linux native. Which I also wanted.

This would be the 3rd time since I've been using it that it has broken compatibility with Vaultwarden, but Vaultwarden always fixes it pretty quickly. But usually browser plugins end up updating before I get around to updating Vaultwarden.

Keyguard. It's not perfect and makes money from the paid version for syncing changes back to the server as well as offline editing that will then sync when you're back online. But it was worth it back when I bought it, and it has never broken so far.

it seems ill asvised to disable automatic updates

I use the WatchTower fork for now, but I use it with the run once flag:

 volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    command: --run-once --cleanup

So, when an update is available, I'll delay updating until I am rather comfortable that all the early adopters have worked out all the bugs for me. LOL Thanks guys! You're an invaluable service.

It did get already updated though 😅
