Self hosting sucks for an average user, and terrible for a mobile user. It is possible to have hosted password solution that is secure, so why not use it?
This is basically the same "cloud" vs "on-prem" debate. Cloud won, I think.

I installed Keepass on my windows desktop along with iCloud drive sync. I keep my Keepass database in my iCloud directory. I can now use this Keepass database on my iPhone (via Files app), on my Macbook (iCloud Drive). Any changes made are automatically synced daily.
Is that really too difficult? And yes, it does "just work".
Bonus: Any passwords stored in my iCloud Keychain are also synced to my Windows Chrome instance via Apple's 'iCloud Passwords'[1] plugin.

In the end I was running the conflict resolution command once every couple days.
Normally I wouldn't mind, but the only time the warning comes up saying that my db file is conflicted is when I need to enter a password in... which is the last time I want to be dealing with this.
This was Keepass with the db file on Dropbox, by the way. Not sure how Syncthing would handle it differently, but it wouldn't have anything to do with merging db files if they go out of sync.
I have written a CLI tool in Rust called keepass-diff that may help you with this: https://github.com/Narigo/keepass-diff
are you able to sync your keepass database to your windows machine? i need to add this one drawback for people to keep in mind. and also because it happened recently and made hn frontpage. apple can decide to suspend your account for one reason or another. it is very rare but can definitely happen.
