  • You definitely should try something with an actual desktop. It sounds like you’re wanting a headed server with virtualization capabilities. I’d personally run LXD or KVM and LXC if I needed a type 2 hypervisor and containers like what you’re saying. Luckily, a ton of distros support both of these at this point.

    Btw, proxmox utilizes KVM and LXC on the backend. So the only difference is that you’re leveraging the tools directly. If you’re a CS student then learning the underlying tools is the best way to learn about a system and how it all interacts.









  • Have you considered using Bitwarden Premium? It has TOTP support and is $10/year currently.

    Also, regardless of how your hosting your data, it’s probably good to keep a secured backup of your vault or two just in case something unexpected happens.


  • Fair points. I’d say it depends on what we’re focusing on.

    Maybe a good compromise would be to have the account that sent the message generate the preview. At least that way you’d maintain E2EE and save the webserver some unnecessary demand.

    I can also see how this could be less reliable (because we’re now relying on a client with all sorts of variables) and less safe (malicious sender could mask malicious links with benign previews) than the server method but it all depends on which you prefer more.

    After thinking about it in this situation, previews are just a nightmare to deal with privately and I’d probably just want to turn them off.
