I'm looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven't found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.

Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?

Currently I'm using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

edit 2024-02-17:
After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available (passbolt or unofficial vaultwarden-deb) I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.

A quick search led me to Passbolt which has multiple user support, native installs for both Debian and Fedora (you'll need to add their repo manually, though) and an Android app, so it seems to fit all your criteria.

Just curious, are there any specific reasons you wish to avoid docker?

Easier for me to add a vm in my current system to handle backup, rollbacks and system updates. I'm much more confident that I can quickly restore a vm to new hardware f.e. Which feels important for a password vault.

Thanks a lot for the passbolt recommendation. Gonna look into it now!

If you're already using a VM anyway (especially for the backend/web UI piece) restoring the image won't be any different for a server running docker vs one running apt packages.

True, I could use VM+Docker as you say. I've been thinking of making a dedicated "Docker VM" before when I've looked at interesting projects that has no other offerings.
I've felt that using docker in a vm robs docker of it's advantages so why use it at all if I'm planning on having a vm? I guess one answer is "because the software you want is delivered as a docker image".

It may seem like unnecessary overhead, but dockerized vaultwarden in a VM has been a huge improvement for me compared to unix-pass.

And with the volumes set up right, moving it is as easy as copy/pasting the folder it all lives in.

Sounds like I should get my docker vm. :)
