Hello Friends,
I have a small ubuntu Server and I finally also want to transfer my Vaultwarden Instance to it. On this Server I have several services running (homeassistant, …) and Certbot via Dehydrated (right now I get a certificate for my duckdns address). In some directory I have the privkey and fullchain files.
Now my Problem is that when I start vaultwarden it wont load as https.
I believe, my Problem is telling Vaultwarden, where my certificate files are located so it can use them accordingly.
This is my Compose File right now:
vaultwarden:
container_name: vaultwarden
image: vaultwarden/server:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /home/vaultwarden:/data/
- /home/(directory to my certificates):/usr/share/ca-certificates/
ports:
- 8129:80
environment:
- DOMAIN=https://hurrdurr.duckdns.org
- LOGIN_RATELIMIT_MAX_BURST=10
- LOGIN_RATELIMIT_SECONDS=60
- ADMIN_RATELIMIT_MAX_BURST=10
- ADMIN_RATELIMIT_SECONDS=60
- ADMIN_TOKEN=token
- SENDS_ALLOWED=true
- EMERGENCY_ACCESS_ALLOWED=true
- WEB_VAULT_ENABLED=true
- SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true
The Volume Mapping to the certificates was just me trying it out so maybe its working if I map it like that.
If I open the 8129 in my Browser it will just time out. I also managed it to start but it wouldnt let me register as theres not https certificate.
Here’s the secret to stuff like this:
Run a single reverse proxy / edge router for all of your containerised services.
I recommend Traefik - https://gitlab.com/Matt.Jolly/traefik-grafana-prometheus-docker
You can configure services with labels attached to the container and (almost) never expose ports directly. It also lets you host an arbitrary number of services listening on 80/443.
An example config might look like this:
# docker-compose.yml version: '3.9' services: bitwarden: image: vaultwarden/server:latest restart: always volumes: - /data/vaultwarden/:/data environment: # - ADMIN_TOKEN= - WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true networks: - proxy labels: - traefik.enable=true - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-https.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-https.redirectScheme.scheme=https - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-https.redirectScheme.permanent=true - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-https.rule=Host(`my.domain.com`) - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-https.entrypoints=websecure - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-https.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-https.service=bitwarden-ui - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-http.rule=Host(`my.domain.com`) - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-http.entrypoints=web - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-http.middlewares=redirect-https - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-ui-http.service=bitwarden-ui - traefik.http.services.bitwarden-ui.loadbalancer.server.port=80 - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-https.rule=Host(`my.domain.com) && Path(`/notifications/hub`) - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-https.entrypoints=websecure - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-https.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-https.service=bitwarden-websocket - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-http.rule=Host(`my.domain.com`) && Path(`/notifications/hub`) - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-http.entrypoints=web - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-http.middlewares=redirect-https - traefik.http.routers.bitwarden-websocket-http.service=bitwarden-websocket - traefik.http.services.bitwarden-websocket.loadbalancer.server.port=3012Using traefik as your first reverse proxy might be a bit daunting. Caddy or “nginx reverse proxy” are much easier to configure.
If you want it beginner friendly, I can recommend nginx proxy Manager, which is basically a web ui frontend for nginx. This has its own drawbacks, but makes setup very uncomplicated.
I agree, very beginner friendly. But also, it’s what most people are gonna need.
I actually started with Traefik because I didn’t know any better, and I kinda wanna go back to be honest because with Traefik I was able to configure a Minecraft server, without having to expose the port. But not with NGINX Proxy Manager.l, since it only does http and shit. But I REALLY like being able to do everything via a webUI since I only have a phone to manage my server .
So, I find myself stuck between functionality and ease of use. :(
At the end of the day Traefik isn’t that hard, especially if you know the core concepts; if you know both and have a need for Traefik I’d just use that everywhere.
Nginx Proxy Manager can do stream hosts, which are encrypted tunnels where you can put any kind of traffic not just HTTP.
I’ve tried, but I wasn’t able to get it working. I’ll look into it again though, cuz I’d love to do it all through NPM.
You should look into NPM Streams, they’re built exactly for this purpose. It’s included by default, just another type of host.
