Vaultwarden
Lightweight Bitwarden server for self-hosted password management
Vaultwarden is the lightweight, self-hosted Bitwarden server written in Rust. With 42K+ GitHub stars, it provides complete Bitwarden functionality with a fraction of the resources. Use official Bitwarden apps with your own server.
Why Vaultwarden?
Bitwarden is great, but the official server requires significant resources and is designed for enterprise scale. For personal use, families, or small teams, you want something lighter. You want to use the polished Bitwarden apps but store passwords on your own server.
How It Works
Vaultwarden reimplements the Bitwarden API in Rust, making it incredibly lightweight. Deploy with Docker, connect official Bitwarden apps (browser, mobile, desktop), and manage passwords entirely on your infrastructure. Same experience, your server.
What Is Vaultwarden?
Vaultwarden is an alternative Bitwarden server implementation. It supports personal vaults, organizations, collections, send, attachments, and MFA. Compatible with all official Bitwarden clients.
