Vaultwarden
Vaultwarden implements the Bitwarden client API so you can keep the official Bitwarden apps and point them at your server. It is AGPL-3.0. It is a server, not a separate password app, and it does not implement every paid Bitwarden organization feature.

Easy. One Docker container plus a reverse proxy and backups. Much smaller than the official Bitwarden server. About $4–8/mo. Unverified estimate.
