   is it safe to version a KeePassX container? either uploading it to the cloud daily (the different versions are side-by-side) or is a git repo or something.

     @kaia I have my keepasxc database synced with nextcloud and haven't had any issues so far.

     @kaia yes if you only access it from one place. No if you access it from more than one place because it won't intelligently merge.

     @kaia i have my db file in a git repo with a cron job that does "git commit -am backup" every five minutes or something.

     Before that broken ram corrupted an old version of the file. And my backup system to Mega, broke because I had used to much storage there. I lost a few months of data. Very fun expierience (especially with a totp-secret I stored in there). i recovered some data from my clipboard history (bad)

     @kaia Since you already use Syncthing setup versioning on it and use some cloud service as a last backup. Basically any will do.

     Bitwarden fired one of their VPs because he put “assigned by God” under pronouns on his company bio.

     @kaia I meant it like this: Since you don't have enabled versions on Syncthing, you can enable them and Syncthing will keep every version of the container as a new file and then maybe use a cloud service as a last resort, if Syncthing fails. The problem with this is, if you add two entries on two separate devices without syncing them in between. Syncthing should detect that changes were made on both sides and refuse to overwrite each other and display a conflict in the UI, but I'm not sure if I would trust it.
     
     As for Git: Probably don't use it. Git doesn't like dealing with binary files and you would store every change ever made to your container, which is probably not necessary. Besides you would still have the same problem as with Syncthing.

     @phnt thank you! Synthing feature sounds like best idea.

     @kaia Just make sure to set the version limit to a sensible number depending on how much you change the stuff in KeePassX, or use the trash version thingy, that doesn't care about the number of versions and just deletes non-current versions every set amount of days.

     @kaia Just checked it with text files and Syncthing does NOT display a conflict in the UI. It ONLY creates a second file, and if you delete the file with sync-conflict... in it's name it will keep it will NOT move it to trash on the device, where you deleted it. On other devices, it will be there. Same goes for normal files (will not be in trash on the device where you deleted the file; will be in trash on other devices)
