## What it is
Bitwarden's server backend providing the APIs, database, and infrastructure behind the Bitwarden password manager. It can be self-hosted via Docker on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

## Use cases
- self-host a password manager
- store and share team passwords securely
- run a private password vault on my own server
- sync passwords across devices with an open-source manager
- manage enterprise credentials and secrets

## When to choose
- you need a free open-source alternative to 1Password/LastPass

## When to avoid
- you only need a local offline password vault without a server
- you don't want to maintain Docker infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: auth, secrets-management, http-server, api-framework
- domain: security, privacy, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform, windows
- tags: password-manager, password-vault, dotnet, aspnetcore, sql-server, docker, linux, macos
