      The IT department has been talking internally for some time about password managers and recommendations for end users. I came back to BitWarden as a potential solution due to cost. Have any of you deployed the self-hosted version for multiple users? I am curious how well it works, and what you had to do to make it usable and accessible. Are there any alternatives that combine multi user management and reasonable cost (if not zero)?

        What do you consider reasonable?

          Why would you host it on prem? Cloud bitwarden has been great, and is affordable

            I have the family plan that allows self-hosted but I've never tried it. For a business, you would need to buy the enterprise plan.
            The on-premise install looks pretty straight forward.

            This person is using the self-hosted.

              It is mostly budget. I'm looking at licensing ~2000 users. $6k/per month is more than I could probably get through at this point on a nice to have kind of project.

                If you want to use Bitwarden's official project it is going to cost the same whether you host on prem or cloud. Well on prem is more expensive since you have to host and maintain on top of per user cost.

                You can however use an unofficial Bitwarden server fork that is free.

                  Is it a fork? Looks like a separate project.

                    Thanks for clearing that up. It wasn't clear to me before.

                      Yeah, you are right. I didnt know much about it. My coworker uses it for his personal server and really likes it. When I saw this thread I asked him about it again so I could help @Kelly clear things up.

                        Looks perfectly nice, wish it had more of a "showing it off" website.
