Vaultwarden is specifically used for self hosting. Setting up a Wireguard VPN on your server at home can be tricky in specific instances. Most of the time it’s dead simple though. Installing a Wireguard Client on your mobile devices is as simple as scanning a QR code. And to be fair: If you’re going to expose the Vaultwarden instance to the internet why not just use the official Bitwarden service then? I’m sure they can handle security better than someone who has trouble setting up an VPN server.

That’s why most use a VPN.

You mistyped illusion right?

Have you tried running it through Wine? Bottles is a nice UI for Wine with sensible default settings. I got a lot of older Windows apps working decently well through that. And especially older not anymore fully supported Windows programms often run more reliable through Wine than through Windows’ own compatibility layers.

Insane way of thinking.

DMS is indeed great! It works also great with Hyprland for anyone interested.

No, I wrote this a bit confusingly. There a lot of these mini PCs with the same form factor as thin clients but much beefier specs. And some of these are actually build to handle AI workloads and could be a good choice if your homeserver should run such tasks. But other than that they just draw to much power. Actual thin clients usually have similar or less cpu performance than a N100 selfbuild but if you ever feel like you need more power there is no way to upgrade it but get a completely new thin client. Plus the self build will be more reliable because of the SATA connections and often has better networking.

If you want to use a thinclients only a few have that little power draw I would even consider to the heart of my always-on homeserver/NAS (so pretty much only Intel NXX processor builds). There a plenty of ITX and mITX mainboard + N100 combos out there, paired with a decent NAS case you are running a cheap and expandable config. And you can easily run a lot of docker containers on there with enough RAM provided, because normally you are using only a few services at a time and for that a N100 is plenty. I would only consider those thinclients if AI is something you are planning to run.
