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.
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.
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
