Easy setup (Docker)

Install Docker to your system and then, from the project root, run:

# Build the docker image:
docker build -t dani/bitwarden_rs .

# Run the docker image with a docker volume:
docker volume create bw_data
docker run --name bitwarden_rs -it --init --rm --mount source=bw_data,target=/data -p 8000:80 dani/bitwarden_rs

# OR, Run the docker image with a host bind, where <absolute_path> is the absolute path to a folder in the host:
docker run --name bitwarden_rs -it --init --rm --mount type=bind,source=<absolute_path>,target=/data -p 8000:80 dani/bitwarden_rs

How to compile bitwarden_rs

How to update the web-vault used

Install node.js and either yarn or npm (usually included with node) Clone the web-vault outside the project:

git clone https://github.com/bitwarden/web.git web-vault

Modify web-vault/settings.json to look like this:

{
  "appSettings": {
    "apiUri": "/api",
    "identityUri": "/identity",
    "iconsUri": "/icons",
    "stripeKey": "",
    "braintreeKey": ""
  }
}

Then, run the following from the web-vault dir:

# With yarn (recommended)
yarn
yarn gulp dist:selfHosted

# With npm
npm install
npx gulp dist:selfHosted

Finally copy the contents of the web-vault/dist folder into the bitwarden_rs/web-vault folder.

openssl genrsa -out data/private_rsa_key.pem

Convert the generated key to .DER:

openssl rsa -in data/private_rsa_key.pem -outform DER -out data/private_rsa_key.der

And generate the public key:

openssl rsa -in data/private_rsa_key.der -inform DER -RSAPublicKey_out -outform DER -out data/public_rsa_key.der

How to recreate database schemas

Install diesel-cli with cargo:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite

Make sure that the correct path to the database is in the .env file.

If you want to modify the schemas, create a new migration with:

diesel migration generate <name>

Modify the *.sql files, making sure that any changes are reverted in the down.sql file.

Apply the migrations and save the generated schemas as follows:

diesel migration redo
diesel print-schema > src/db/schema.rs
