Install Bitwarden Visually Using 1Panel¶
Bitwarden is an open‑source password manager that provides robust security and convenient password management. This repository uses an alternative server implementation of the Bitwarden client API, written in Rust, and is compatible with the official Bitwarden clients. It is ideal for self‑hosted deployments where running the official resource‑heavy service may not be optimal. After deploying the server, users can still use the official Bitwarden apps and browser extensions with the compatible API service.
1. Open the App Store¶
After entering the 1Panel console, click App Store in the left menu.
2. Search for Bitwarden and Install¶
Enter Bitwarden in the search box in the upper right corner, click the application card to go to the details page, then select Install.
3. Configure Installation Parameters¶
You can configure the following as needed:
- Name: Customize the application name (default: bitwarden)
- Version: Select the desired Bitwarden version from the dropdown
- Port: Access port for the application (default: 40031)
- Port External Access: When enabled, allows external network access to the application port
After confirming the settings are correct, click the Confirm button to start installation.
Wait for the installation to complete.
4. Configure Bitwarden SSL Access¶
Note: Bitwarden requires an SSL certificate for access. Direct access will result in a loading loop.
