Bitwarden can't be compared to KeePassXC. Bitwarden is fundamentally built around a sync server, whereas KeePass is meant to exclusively operate locally. These are two very different fundamental concepts for, you know, how to actually store and access your passwords.
Store your database in a nextcloud instance and it's that too
Nope. Since the entire database is contained in a single file, it can't sync multiple edits properly, leading to sync conflicts. Because KeePass was built around local database files, whereas Bitwarden uses actual synced databases, where individual updates can be uploaded, instead of causing conflicts or overwriting the entire db.
Conflicts haven't been an issue for years, all modern iterations of KeePass (XC, kp2a, DX) support automatically merging in the latest before saving.
I've been using it for years this way across several devices, it's incredibly solid
Do you sync it across your devices using Syncthing? That's what I'm thinking of doing.
I keep mine in a self hosted Nextcloud instance, DAV sync is built into the app
