// so funktioniert es

So funktioniert es

  1. Run the container

    Start Vaultwarden with Docker, storing its data in a persistent /data volume, per the project README.

  2. Put it behind HTTPS

    The web vault requires a secure context: put a reverse proxy (Caddy, Nginx, Traefik) with a real certificate in front, and set the DOMAIN env var to your public URL.

  3. Connect the official apps

    Create your account, then point the Bitwarden mobile apps, desktop apps and browser extensions at your server URL in their self-hosted settings.

Warum es so beliebt ist

Official clients, your server

Works with the genuine Bitwarden apps and extensions — only the server changes.

Tiny footprint

A single Rust binary in one container; runs on a Pi where the official stack wants a fleet.

Premium features included

Organisations, attachments, built-in TOTP, emergency access and collections without a per-user subscription.

Full API compatibility

Implements the Bitwarden API surface, including the web vault, so migrations from the cloud service are painless.

  1. Docker run

    The README quick start, bound to localhost behind your reverse proxy.

    docker pull vaultwarden/server:latest
    docker run --detach --name vaultwarden \
      --env DOMAIN="https://vw.domain.tld" \
      --volume /vw-data/:/data/ \
      --restart unless-stopped \
      --publish 127.0.0.1:8000:80 \
      vaultwarden/server:latest
  2. Data lives in /data

    Back up this one volume and you have backed up the vault database, attachments and config.

    /vw-data/ (host) -> /data/ (container)
  3. Admin panel (optional)

    Set an ADMIN_TOKEN env var and visit /admin to manage users and settings; disable it again if you do not need it.

Häufige Fragen

Who makes Vaultwarden?

Daniel García and contributors (dani-garcia/vaultwarden on GitHub). It is a community project and is not affiliated with Bitwarden, Inc.

Is Vaultwarden free?

Yes — AGPL-3.0 licensed, with the features Bitwarden gates behind paid plans available to all users.

Is it safe to trust with passwords?

Vaults are end-to-end encrypted by the official clients exactly as with Bitwarden cloud; the server stores ciphertext. The real responsibilities are yours: HTTPS, updates and backups of /data.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Against the official Bitwarden self-hosted server, Vaultwarden is dramatically lighter — one container instead of many — and unlocks premium features free; the official server wins on vendor support. Against KeePass, Vaultwarden adds seamless multi-device sync with the familiar Bitwarden apps.

How do I get started?

docker run the vaultwarden/server image with a /data volume, put HTTPS in front of it, then set your server URL in the Bitwarden apps.
