Wait wait wait. A Bitwarden server? Please elaborate on what this is and the benefits of it? I use Bitwarden for everything and if there's a more secure route, sign me up!
Most of the time it's called "Vaultwarden" and since Bitwarden is OpenSource, it's basically the same. Except that selfe hosted you do not have access to the haveibeenpawned API for your yearly subscription. Which is why my personal Vaulwarden is "only" a backup.
Hm if that's what it's for I may just stick to my subscription. Usually I go a self hosted route when I don't want to pay for things, but in this instance I feel it may be worth it.
The premium features of bitwarden are locked behind subscription (which I think is fair), but if you want them and would like to make sure your vault isn't going to get leaked in some big hack som time, then selfhosting is the way.
I haven't done it yet, but I know there's a software called vaultwarden written in rust, which is an popular, unofficial server. I think you can configure the client to use that instead, not sure tho
