Vaultwarden Password Manager

Vaultwarden 1.37.4 password manager server with web vault 2026.7.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, served over HTTPS with live sync. Keep your team's passwords, secure notes and cards in an end-to-end encrypted vault on a server you control, share logins through organizations and collections, and use the Bitwarden-compatible browser extensions and mobile apps. Sign-ups are closed by default, so only addresses you invite can create an account, and the whole vault backs up with one command.

Getting started

From launch to signed in, step by step.

  1. Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch in your region with TCP 22, 80, 443 and 8000 open; wait about three minutes for first boot.

  2. Open https://<instance-public-ip>/admin, accept the one-time self-signed certificate warning and enter your EC2 Instance ID, lowercase exactly as the console shows it (for example i-0123456789abcdef0) as the admin token.

  3. On the Users page, invite the email address you want to use (no mail server is needed), then open https://<instance-public-ip>/, choose Create account and register with that address. Uninvited addresses cannot register.

  4. In the apps and browser extensions choose the self-hosted server option and enter https://<instance-public-ip>. Some mobile and desktop apps refuse a self-signed certificate: point your own domain at the instance and install a trusted certificate for those.

  5. Webmin is on port 8000 with username admin and the same Instance ID password. SSH as ubuntu with your key pair. Change the admin token with sudo bash /home/ubuntu/iscripts/pass_vw_admin.sh or Webmin with pass_webmin.sh; back up the vault with sudo bash /home/ubuntu/iscripts/vaultwarden_backup.sh.

Security posture

What this image does and does not ship with, one fact per line.

  • Clean-room build on Canonical's official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image: every component comes from its own official source, and nothing is copied from any third-party image.

  • Vaultwarden is compiled from its official release tag and the web vault is the checksum-verified build that release pins.

  • The image ships an empty data folder and no credentials: on first boot every instance creates its own vault database, server signing key, admin token (stored only as an Argon2id hash) and HTTPS certificate, and sets its own Webmin password, from EC2 instance metadata (IMDSv2).

  • Sign-ups are closed and invitations are required.

  • The vault is served over HTTPS only (port 80 redirects), and Vaultwarden runs as its own unprivileged user behind nginx.

  • SSH is key-only, and build-time SSH keys, host keys, machine ID, shell history and logs were removed before imaging.

  • The bundled password tools enforce at least 10 characters with upper- and lower-case letters, a number and a symbol.

  • Vaultwarden is an independent project, not associated with Bitwarden, Inc.
