Vaultwarden Docker Container Settup

Container Setup

In this setup I will be using a Debian 11 Docker container hosted on proxmox:

Download the Debian 11 container template in disk>CT Templates> Debian 11

Create a CT with your chosen name and ID

Allocate 2 Cores, 4096MB of RAM, and 30Gb of Storage

Start the docker container, and create a sudo user with:

useradd user

usermod -aG sudo user

Switch to the new Sudo user for the rest of the installation

Docker Setup

First install necessary apps and components for vault-warden:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https docker ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

Then enable the docker service with

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

To see the status and test docker run

sudo docker ps

Installing Vault Warden

First we grab the Vaultwarden container using:

sudo docker pull vaultwarden/server:latest

Next we have to make the running dir for VaultWarden

sudo mkdir /srv/vaultwarden

sudo chmod go-rwx /srv/vaultwarden

Then we start the container with the following:

sudo docker run -d --name vaultwarden -v /srv/vaultwarden:/data -e WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true -p systemip:80:80 -p systemip:3012:3012 --restart on-failure vaultwarden/server:latest

With "systemip" the local address of the container
