From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does this reliably work for you? I occasionally had issues with a similar setup when I made changes to the database on both devices while offline. In the end I had to resolve the conflict manually which was quite annoying. That was the reason for me to switch to Bitwarden (on a self hosted instance of vaultwarden).
@nachtigall I don't think I ever found myself making changes on multiple offline devices at the same time, so I never ran into sync conflicts.
I did have a database corruption that propagated to all devices. Would have been a pain but one device is my home server which takes backups independently.
I've had this setup for 6 years or so and it's been great. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cleaner solution though.
