Great to see progress! Why is it behind their official github releases though? Latest version is 2024.10.2 and not 2024.09.0. It is four releases meaning more than a month behind.
Baby steps?
Bit of a plug, but use gam? https://github.com/fmstrat/gam
It’s the winapps author! By the way, winapps looks cool! I never was able to get it working though because I was using Wayland
Hah, yup, that's me, too. Sorry it didn't work out, a team have done some updates to it that may work now, unfortunately I've never been able to get a hold of them.
Funny thing, it repacks a deb package.
See manifest.
Is the a downside to repacking the deb package? They're basically just zip files of the same binary you'd run on most other Linux distros.
I don't say that. Rather it's just a trivia.
Totally fair. I'm curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.
Reposting the link from another comment on here, there is a PR to build the flatpak from source https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/222
What does this desktop app do that the browser extension doesn't? I tried the cli extension but it was rubbish..
The desktop app can be used as a bridge for biometrics in the browser extension, but other than that, it basically serves no unique purpose unless and until they add autofill for desktop applications.
I also would like to know what the desktop app is used for?
I've seen apps like xpipe that have direct Bitwarden integration if you want (way too high risk for me but I can see some people using it), but even then it integrates directly to the servers API. When I need an ssh password or something I copy and paste it from the browser extension. I'm curious if I'm missing some functionality by not using the app.
Huge news
Is it possible to get biometrics working on a flathub app?
I fucking love Flathub(and flatpak too), also thank you to Bitwarden team♥️.
What does bitwarden have over keepass?
Sync that has never broken for me and works on a phone. My attempts at keypass with both google drive and syncthing invariably ended up with me needing to periodically do manual reconciliation. I’ve never had this problem with bitwarden. Also, bitwardens passkey hooks work on iOS. They appear unsupported by keepassium.
Probably a bit more polished UX (especially for not too tech-savy people)
but I'd say the biggest difference is integrated multidevice support, either via their cloud or selfhosted...
I cannot access my homelab from my work network, so I cannot sync via Nextcloud. Syncthing would be better, but they just stopped supporting Android sync, which I need. Proton Drive doesn't sync files on Android. On top of that, I don't want to deal with sync issues because keepass isn't designed for syncing like that. I'm not gonna go back to using Google, Microsoft, or Dropbox just for keepass. I've considered just keeping my db file on a flash drive, but all of the keepass Android apps I tried won't automatically detect that the file exists when I plug in the drive.
If someone has a better way for me to use it, please enlighten me.
Bitwarden is slowly turning their stuff closed-source, and I hope they don't turn to shit, but right now it's what works.
Adding to what the other reply said, download the syncthing fork. The official app has been under maintenance mode for a while.
Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have put that in this comment, I was just airing a tangential frustration. It still doesn't help me unless I set up a vps on a whitelisted domain at my work.
Syncthing still supports Android, you can download the app via Fdroid.
But the last release for it will be in December.
There is the fork mentioned in the forum post here.

I don't use Syncthing and don't have an Android phone so I can't really speak for it in terms of functionality.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
