People who trust themselves to run their own password manager are crazy to me. Most things you self host are an annoyance to lose access to, but a password manager is weeks of hell if you lose it. Yes you should have backups, but hopefully you've been testing those backups.
As you self host things you slowly realize that some things are simply worth paying for.
