I wished bitwarden would not need a backend and for sure not one tied to the windows and .net ecosystem.

I would be willing to pay (even subscription) for a nice set of UI clients (android, iOs, mac, Linux, Windows), plugins (Chrome, Firefox) that can just work with an encrypted file on ANY cloud or p2p file sync solution (i.e. resilio sync).

Unfortunately there seems not to be such a thing that is open source and does not want to lock you in to their infrastructure and services.



Bitwarden backend is cross platform and can run on Linux as well.


cross platform but dependent on mysql and .net.

I suppose that is what OP meant by 'reliant on microsoft'.


The article talks about a new Ruby/SQLite backend, making it no longer reliant on .NET, MSSQL, or Bitwarden's servers at all.


Correct but then it's nothing official yet with an uncertain future? Even if it would become community backed it still is a backend that needs to be secured, maintained, updated, etc. Therefore a file only based solution is imho preferable from this point of view.
