Unreliable on arm64?

[dmindfuse]

Hello community. Having been a paying customer for a password manager service I was intrigued by Bitwarden_RS. Could I really operate a password manager to the level of reliability and availability provided by a pay-for service? So I set out to install it following the instructions online. I have deployed it on a Rock Pi 64 (arm64v8). This tiny hobby device also consumes between 50% and 80% of its CPU for BOINC projects, Portainer, Kanboard. Lo and behold, a few clicks and some configuration changes and restarts and there it is: your own bitwarden_rs instance. I have to say, I was very impressed. It even includes fully configured HTTPS out of the box. Even 2FA worked, E-mail delivery, you name it. I was absolutely genuinely impressed.

So what's not to like? Well, so far, runing it for 3 days t's been real hit and miss with the server's responsiveness. I have to frequently restart both Caddy and the Bitwarden containers to fix things like:

• http2 stream issues reported in the log file
• the web vault login page stuck on a rotating wheel infinitely (all browsers)
• performance: deleting 300 items from the vault caused the web vault to become unresponsive (sqlite3?)
• sync on my iOS clients hanging/unresponsive and blocking the app in the process

What's it been for others on aarch64?

Don't know its specs, but it does sound you're already stretching the device even before running Bitwarden. Curious now as to other people's experiences on lower powered devices.

I have since abandoned this. Not because of the device or performance, but because backing up and managing my passwords was going to cost me more than what I pay for a managed password manager App annually. I know I know… security, privacy, trust… still… 😑 thanks though.

What is since? The current testing tagged images are totally different right now.
So posting a comment like this is a bit strange.

@BlackDex , sorry if I caused confusion. That was not intentional. I meant to say that I have abandoned testing the application since last I wrote here. I thought I might close this thread, but that appears to be impossible for me. For the record, Bitwarden is genuinely impressive, but I haven't -personally- the time to invest into setting things up securely and resiliently (I'm no spring chicken...) :)

Ah, thanks for the clarification 😄, and since this is a discussion topic it can't be closed.
A lot of changes have been done in the mean time, and i know there are some other changes we can make to increase some performance on some tasks which i haven't gotten to as of yet, i just want to make sure that people understand that as with all software it is a work in progress, and sometimes optimizing an application can take some time.
