1password is considering a self-hosted option to store vaults

Hi @A10,

You're welcome.

I was thinking that the docker container would be more like a separate vault. Can you clarify what you mean by a second account?

You can have multiple 1Password.com (and .ca/.eu) memberships, for an example; a lot of people have their own private 1Password account while also using a 1Password account from their work company (or another team like a sport team, club, and/or another family), they can sign in to any number of 1Password accounts in the same app. Each account have their own vaults, settings, permissions, and so on.

Here's a screenshot of me signed in with two 1Password accounts, one called Item Editors and samurai is another testing account I use.

Everything view is the union of both 1Password accounts in the same view.

You could create a vault collection to show specific vaults from various 1Password accounts or just one like this:

Does that help clarify why Docker/container is desirable and why it means we'd only have one app with a unified experience? It basically means you can treat the 1Password account from the container as a local account that you sign into the same 1Password app and the app wouldn't see any difference between them. The local account can have any number of vaults you want to keep local and other 1Password account you sign in can be hosted by us, your work company, and so on.

Part of the reason I ended up checking on the linux beta was I ran into an issue where my main computer died (mac OS) and then took out my access to the local vaults. I have them backed up, but didn't have a way to access them.

If you need it now, you can use a virtual machine (KVM is built-in for Linux) to run Windows and use our Windows app to access your standalone vaults.

That's part of why we offer the 1Password memberships, folks don't want to worry about backups and need access to their data anywhere at any time. You can use 1Password.com web app, 1Password command line tool, 1Password in your browser, any apps we have available at the moment, which we're extending with Linux now and more in the future.
