The BitWarden-LXC is reachable under 192.168.88.?? which is located in the ServerVLAN.

The subdomain is keys.flowerhouse.at which is handled by the ReverseProxy.

Basic Setup

The original BitWarden-Server is only available with docker, this an alternative software programmed with rust.

Install the required packages:

apt install git curl wget htop pkg-config openssl libssl1.1 libssl-dev build-essential

Rust

Download script and follow installer:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Create environment variable:

echo 'export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
export PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH

After running following command:

which rustc

It should show the path:

/root/.cargo/bin/rustc

NodeJS

Download latest NodeJS package:

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v15.10.0-linux-x64.tar.xz

Unpack and move folder:

tar -xvf nnode-v15.10.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
mv node-v15.10.0-linux-x64.tar.xz /opt/

Create link:

ln -sf /opt/node-v15.10.0-linux-x64 /opt/node

Build bitwarden_rs

To build bitwarden_rs, enough CPU and RAM is needed for it to work, with 4 Cores and 1GB RAM it worked fine.

Clone the bitwarden_rs repository and use cargo to build it:

git clone https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs && pushd bitwarden_rs 
cargo clean && cargo build --features sqlite --release
file target/release/bitwarden_rs

Create folder and move bitwarden_rs:

mkdir /opt/bitwarden
mkdir /opt/bitwarden/data
cd ~/bitwarden_rs/target/release
mv ~/bitwarden_rs/target/release/bitwarden_rs /opt/bitwarden
rm -r ~/bitwarden_rs

Create .env file and paste template configuration:

nano /opt/bitwarden/.env

Install WebVault

It is not needed to build WebVault, you can use one of the prepatched branches

Move to the bitwarden_rs release folder and download WebVault:

wget https://github.com/dani-garcia/bw_web_builds/releases/download/v2.18.1d/bw_web_v2.18.1d.tar.gz

Unpack and rename folder:

tar -xvf bw_web_v2.18.1d.tar.gz
mv bw_web_v2.18.1d.tar.gz web-vault

systemd service

nano /etc/systemd/system/socat.service
