https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:nodejs/bitwarden https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/tree/master/apps/desktop Bitwarden is a free and open-source password management service that stores sensitive information such as website credentials in an encrypted vault. Bitwarden offers a cloud-hosted service as well as the ability to deploy the solution on-premises. {I currently only build the GUI client which has a somewhat complicated build process (it uses electron). The CLI `bw` program lives in the same repo, but seems to be a bunch of portable Node scripts, which means a packaged version is not in such high demand}

The bitwarden team does offer the rpm version for openSUSE, but they don't maintain a repo.

that's not an “rpm version for openSUSE”. That's a repackaged version with bundled electron built against ancient Debian. I remember it crashing on startup for months after some glibc release (2.34?) because upstream didn't bother to backport the patches. My opinion is that you don't ship your own electron the same way you don't ship your own python or java.

I use it just fine on openSUSE Tumbleweed. :-) On 2/20/23 22:34, Bruno Pitrus wrote:

for OpeSUSE (and other Linux flavors that support Flatpak) use the flatpak (flathub) packages (stable, NOT beata) , they are maintaied and work very well.... Andréfactory@lists.opensuse.org Op 21-2-2023 om 03:24 schreef Cameron Seader:

do they really? I'm using the AppImage but that apparently has issues from upstream and AppImage support in openSUSE seems very weak. So I managed once to authenticate to our SSO with bitwarden a while ago but currently it's not possible at all due to desktop file and appimage integration issues apparently. I can try flatpak but really wondering if that SSO flow works with that one. Wolfgang
