  • I have used KeePass for 10+ years and used Android and Windows when I first set it up. Now I need it to work on iOS, Android, Window and Linux and moving away from KeePass was not an option I wanted to consider.

    My solution is to use KeePassXC on Windows/Linux1, KeePassDX on Android and Strongbox on iOS. To sync the file between all units, I use Syncthing (MöbiusSync on iOS). I have a server always online running syncthing to make sure that at least on node has the latest version.

    The only problem I have with this setup is that Strongbox does not auto update, I have to select open existing file and select the same kdbx file (and Strongbox will update the vault etc). Saving changes does not seem to be a problem but I usually do a manual scan in MöbiusSync to make sure updates are pushed.

    [1] The reason I use KeePassXC over vanilla KeePass is because the devs from KeePassXC and Strongbox communicate to make sure their applications are compatible. A file created with one works with the other seamlessly.



  • I tried to set it up the other day and failed as well. Looking at their docker-compose examples for reverse proxy, there are a lot of environment variables not included in their original example. After adding all those variables, the container started with a message about first registration.

    I haven’t tested more than that yet.

    EDIT: Added it to my reverse proxy and was able to create the first account via Element.













  • If you like compose files: https://www.composerize.com/

    docker run -it --rm -v <your-data-path>:/data -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=<your-public-address-subdomain> -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no matrixdotorg/synapse:v1.136.0 generate:
