The vaultwarden install instructions assume Docker, for example: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden. If you want to install native binaries, you're going to have to git fetch/checkout/pull the latest release tag and run `cargo build --features sqlite --release` yourself. Doable in a cronjob, but it'll probably take a compile to build a system like vaultwarden on a low-power ARM core.
Not to mention that it encourages sloppiness and software bloat. The password manager could be put on a simple MCU device, instead, we have a large non-transparent multi-component installation swept under the rug with Docker. I do not think this is a good thing.
Based on the name, I expected someone to take vaultwarden and make it an αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε that runs on its own without an OS; instead, this is just a quick tutorial for "how to set up vaultwarden".
Is there a way to do it without backing up all the os packages?
With docker I can stop the service, then snapshot its data volume, then restart it. And restoring is very easy.
I have no idea how to get that workflow at an os level without a vm manager.
