MX Linux Forum

Hello all!
I'm currently migrating from LastPass to Bitwarden. There's a gui client in Flatpack section of MX package installer, but they have a cli client that I would like to use with Qutebrowser. Is there any chance to port it to MX repos? Is it better to install it from zip file, npm or snap?

Here's the support page: https://bitwarden.com/help/article/cli/
Here's the Github: https://github.com/bitwarden/cli

Thanks a lot!

Electron apps can be a pain to package from scratch (No debian/ubuntu based distro has packaged it yet and there's no PPA) and I haven't time to look at this one at the moment. Perhaps another packager will.
But the easiest way to install it on your machine is download it at the link they provide
https://github.com/bitwarden/cli/releas ... 1.14.0.zip
Extract the bw file, mark it executable and copy it to /usr/local/bin/

There's also a deb file available on github for the gui desktop program: https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases

Do you prefer the cli? If you want the gui, the deb file installs and runs fine on MX 19. Maybe we could talk some of our people into including the gui in the MX Package Installer, next to KeePassX in the Popular Apps tab. Bitwarden works very hard to make sure their code is open source and works well on Linux distros.

If you're not able to run the Electron version in MX, you may have to enable kernel sandboxing in MX Tweak.

Thanks for all the answers.
I think the flatpak version is good enough for the gui client. It's just that I prefer the cli one (this way I can get autofilling on qutebrowser too). Tonight I'm going to install it from github and post here the results.
Thanks again.

It worked fine!
Cheers!
