    Is that really how it works? I thought it was all open source software? If it is I don’t see how you can be required to pay if you host it yourself?

      It is open source - but the server essentially locks you out of various functionality unless you create an account with Bitwarden and provide a valid subscription token.

      Sure, you can fork it and excise that code from it… but that’s too laborious and potentially error-prone, imho.

      If I were to selfhost bitwarden again, I’d go with Vaultwarden, which claims to be fully compatible and has no such requirements.
