Vaultwarden using Docker Compose with existing Certificates

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.

Seconding a reverse proxy. Once you have it set up, it's trivial to add a subdomain, forward it to your internal port that your container is exposing, then use certbot or whatever to get a new certificate for that subdomain.

I just use apache because I heavily use it for work, so I already know it well. But lots of people swear by nginx as well. There are lots of other options as well.

No need to get a certificate for ever subdomain, you can get a wildcard cert for *.your. domain.

dandroid@dandroid.app · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

True. I did that for one of my domains, but it was really quite annoying to do with certbot, as you needed some sort of plugin.

Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip · 1 pts · 2y

It's fine with Let'sEncrypt via the DNS01 challenge; my lab typically only uses one wildcard certificate for all the services there unless I have a specific need to generate an indovidual cert for a service.

Thirding a reverse proxy. Probably Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) is the easiest reverse proxy to get started with, if you don't want to deal with plain nginx config files

Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip · 6 pts · 2y (8 replies)

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

Using traefik as your first reverse proxy might be a bit daunting. Caddy or "nginx reverse proxy" are much easier to configure.

7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 2y (6 replies)

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.

koinu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (5 replies)

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. :(

Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip · 1 pts · 2y

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.

lemmyvore@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Nginx Proxy Manager can do stream hosts, which are encrypted tunnels where you can put any kind of traffic not just HTTP.

koinu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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.

7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You should look into NPM Streams, they're built exactly for this purpose. It's included by default, just another type of host.

Can I send you a pm regarding my progress so far? I'm kind off stuck at configuring everything:/
