In this tutorial, we will explain the steps needed to install Vaultwarden on a Fedora Server latest version. Vaultwarden is a free and open-source password manager that is compatible with Bitwarden clients.
Before we begin the installation of Vaultwarden, we need to install some dependencies that are necessary for the installation.
Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y gcc cmake make openssl-devel sqlite-devel
Vaultwarden is written in Rust programming language, so we need to install Rust on our system.
Run the following command to install Rust:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Press 1 and Enter when prompted to install Rust.
Next, we need to clone the Vaultwarden repository:
git clone https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden.git
Change to the cloned directory:
cd vaultwarden
To build Vaultwarden, run the following command:
cargo build --features sqlite --release
To run Vaultwarden as a daemon, we need to create a systemd service.
Run the following command to create a systemd service file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vaultwarden.service
Add the following content to the file:
[Unit]
Description=Vaultwarden Service
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
# ExecStart= is the full path to vaultwarden binary
ExecStart=/path/to/vaultwarden/binary --listen 127.0.0.1:8200
User=vaultwarden
Group=vaultwarden
Restart=always
StandardError=syslog
StandardOutput=syslog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Replace /path/to/vaultwarden/binary with the full path to the Vaultwarden binary file.
Change the User and Group to a non-root user who has permission to access the Vaultwarden directory.
Save and close the file.
Reload systemd to read the new service file:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Now that the service is created, we need to start it and enable it to start on boot.
Run the following command to start the service:
sudo systemctl start vaultwarden
To check the status of the service, run:
sudo systemctl status vaultwarden
The output should show the status of the service as active.
Run the following command to enable the service at boot:
sudo systemctl enable vaultwarden
By default, Vaultwarden listens on port 8200. If you have an active firewall, you need to allow traffic to this port.
Run the following command to open port 8200 in the firewall:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8200/tcp --permanent
Reload the firewall for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl reload firewalld
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Vaultwarden on your Fedora Server Latest version, and it's now available to use.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
