Lightweight Password Vault of the Ghosts - Vaultwarden
Password vaults are the Operator's allies.
They keep secrets contained.
Versioned.
Secure.
We've tested the blades of Passbolt - the open-source team-focused vault.
Vaultwarden is different.
Silent.
Small.
Minimal footprint.
Deploy The Blade
Your mission:
- isolate
- secure
- simplify
Task: Deploy Vaultwarden in a Podman container.
Create a dedicated network:
podman network create n_vaultwarden
Prepare the data volume:
mkdir vw-data
Launch the container:
podman run --network n_vaultwarden -d --rm \ --name vaultwarden \ -v ./vw-data/:/data/ \ -p 8000:80 \ docker.io/vaultwarden/server:latest
Create a user.
Log in.
Vaultwarden is guarding your secrets.
Harden The Blade
Plain-text web communication is loud.
Silence it.
Use an SSL proxy to encrypt traffic.
Deny direct connections to your Vaultwarden container.
Use valid certificates.
Backup the Blade
Your data lives in vw-data
— inside your project directory.
It holds your secrets. Database files. Credentials.
Back it up.
Encrypt it.
Protect it like you protect your own memory.
