Web Vault builds for Vaultwarden

Scripts and CI to patch (including branding) and build the Bitwarden web client [disclaimer], to make it compatible with Vaultwarden.

---

Important

When using this web-vault, please report any bugs or suggestions directly to us (see Get in touch), regardless of whatever other clients you are using (mobile, desktop, browser...). DO NOT use the official Bitwarden support channels.

Building the web-vault

To build the web-vault you need either node and npm installed or use Docker.

Using node and npm

For a quick and easy local build you could run:

make full

That will generate a tar.gz file within the builds directory which you can extract and use with the WEB_VAULT_FOLDER environment variable.

Using a container

Or via the usage of building via a container:

make container-extract

That will extract the tar.gz and files generated via Docker into the container_builds directory.

Which container command to use, docker or podman

The default is to use docker, but podman works too.

You can force them by replacing container with either docker or podman, like:

make docker-extract
# Or
make podman-extract

You can configure the default via a .env file. See the .env.template.
Or you can set it as a make argument with the make command:

make CONTAINER_CMD=podman container-extract

More information

For more information see: Install the web-vault

Pre-build

The builds are available in the releases page, and can be replicated with the scripts in this repo.
