I already have my keepassxc and syncthing setup on my phone and computers and it’s great, I’d like to go a step further and have my password database sync when I’m not on my home network. From my understanding I can use relays set up by other users and they are encrypted, but if I do not trust syncing personal (encrypted) data to someone else’s server how easy is it to set up a relay that only I use? I won’t be using Bitwarden because in theory if I can pull this off I can also use syncthing to sync other files as well. Is setting up a personal relay a lot of work or a potential security risk for my home network?

Personally, I’ve just set my devices to only sync in my LAN, just in case.

I use it over Tailscale only and it works perfectly as an alternative.
