I want to host a Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden if necessary) instance, but it keeps asking for a domain and a SSL certificate. I dont own a domain and dont want to enable port forwarding on my router to expose it to the outside.

Is it possible to host a instance only internally and access it via the IP or a domain set on my local DNS? How about SSL is it possible and/or necessary?

That's an ecosystem defect that you need a dns name paid subscription to use "institutionally sanctified" certificates.

My stuff should be made to still work in the apocalypse when San Francisco and Silicon Valley are underwater radioactive craters.

It's an industry security standard. Not a defect. If you don't agree with it, fork the software and modify it to suit your needs.

You mean fork every https browser and server? With hookers and blackjack too?
