In this video we start with a blank Ubuntu 18.04 server and take it to a fully functioning Bitwarden password manager install. Bitwarden is similar to LastPass, but you can install it locally on your own server and have complete control over your credentials.

The idea behind password managers is quite simple, you have a unique password (and username if possible) for each site that you have an account with on the Internet. This way, if one site gets compromised, you only need to change a single password instead of all your passwords.

The guide used for install: https://help.bitwarden.com/article/in...

To backup your vault, simply zip/tar your bwdata folder, here's a handy script:
#!/bin/bash

tar -czvf /path/where/you/want/your/backups/stored/`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.gz --directory=/path/where/bwdata/folder/is bwdata
find /path/where/you/want/your/backups/stored/*.tar.gz -type f -mtime +30 -execdir rm -- '{}' \;

exit

The former will create your new backup. The latter will find and remove any backups older than 30 days.
