Hello, i am running Bitwarden\_RS on docker 20.10.3 and use the command line to pass variables. I tinkered around and enabled the admin page by using the ADMIN\_TOKEN first. Then I used the DISABLE\_ADMIN\_TOKEN. Fine…no token needed anymore.

The problem is that removing the tokens does not work for me. Whatever I do, I still can log into the Admin page.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I noticed from another topic that its the _config.json_ in the _data_ folder inside the container seems to be the issue. I renamed that file and now the admin page does ask for a token.

In hindsight…no need to go into the container. The data folder is mapped to the working dir bw-data on my host. Silly me! 😃

> Hello all! smiley Let me start off with that I’ve read all of the documentation over at the wiki on the Github repo. I just don’t get the documentation, as a newbie to docker the documentation lacks some more step-by step. I would like to run BitwardenRS behind Nginx, but before I do that I would like to have it up and running with just docker first. I have a working BitwardenRS docker running that is accessible however I just can’t manage to find out how to set environment variables. Am I …
