Server configuration

  • Disk space : 50GB
  • RAM : 1GB
  • CPU : 1

Step #01: Your server must be update & upgrade using below. command.

root@Bitwarden:~# apt-get update
root@Bitwarden:~# apt-get upgrade
root@Bitwarden:~# reboot

Step #02: Install docker community edition for your bitwarden.

root@Bitwarden:~# curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
root@Bitwarden:~# add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
root@Bitwarden:~# apt-get update
root@Bitwarden:~# apt-cache policy docker-ce
root@Bitwarden:~# apt-get install -y docker-ce
root@Bitwarden:~# systemctl status docker
root@Bitwarden:~# sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
root@Bitwarden:~# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
root@Bitwarden:~# ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
root@Bitwarden:~# docker-compose --version
root@Bitwarden:~# curl -Lso bitwarden.sh https://go.btwrdn.co/bw-sh

Step #03: Now start bitwarden installation process.

root@Bitwarden:~# chmod +x bitwarden.sh
root@Bitwarden:~# ./bitwarden.sh install

Remember : (!) Enter the domain name for your Bitwarden instance (ex. bitwarden.example.com):

(!) Do you want to use Let’s Encrypt to generate a free SSL certificate? (y/n): n

(!) Do you have a SSL certificate to use? (y/n): n

(!) Do you want to generate a self-signed SSL certificate? (y/n): n

if you want to install this system using sub domain so enter this domain. But this is must be ssl enable.

root@Bitwarden:~# ./bitwarden.sh updateself
root@Bitwarden:~# ./bitwarden.sh update

If you see error like below so again & again run ./bitwarden.sh start command.

  • Thank you very much for taking out so much of your time to come up with exact step by step tutorial. You should also post something for email settings setup on bitwarden.

  • HI Admin,

    Great tutorial ! My congratulations!

    I have one question, could you say me how can I export bitwarden config from bash directly or where is the binary "bw" in all the existing containers?

    Regards!
