# Vaultwarden ## Why Vaultwarden? Vaultwarden is an alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust and compatible with Bitwarden clients. It has the base features of Bitwarden and also some free features that you have to pay for on Bitwarden. For example 2-factor-authentification (TOTP). ## Prerequisites - [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) ## Installation Guide For the installation i use a docker-compose file. To run it go to Portainer Stacks. You have to modify the comment variables before execution. ```yaml version: "3.9" services: vaultwarden: image: vaultwarden/server:latest container_name: Vaultwarden restart: unless-stopped ports: - #35556:3012 - #35554:80 volumes: - #/volume1/docker/vaultwarden/data:/data:rw environment: PUID: #1027 PGID: #65555 ROCKET_PROFILE: release ROCKET_PORT: 80 ROCKET_ADDRESS: 0.0.0.0 ROCKET_ENV: staging RODCKET_WORKERS: 10 DEBIAN_FRONTEND: noninteractive SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: true WEBSOCKET_ENABLED: true ``` After successful execution of the docker-compose file you have to [create a new account](#create-a-new-account). ## Create a new Account To create a new account you have to call your defined ipv4_address via web-browser (for example: `192.168.1.123:35554`). > [!CAUTION] > Don't forget to [Disable SIGNUPS_ALLOWED](#disable-signups_allowed). If you don't do this, anyone who reaches the login-page can create an account. ## Disable SIGNUPS_ALLOWED Stop the container and change the `SIGNUPS_ALLOWED` to `false` in the container settings.
