Hello!

I installed vaultwarden version 2.25.1 using docker on a my debian server using [this](https://stuxsociety.co/self-hosting-vaultwarden-password-manager/) toturial.

Everything runs fine. But after 1 or 2 days. I get a bad gateway error from the nginx reverse proxy.  
I can get everything running by stopping, removing and starting the vaultwarden container again.  
This is also necessary if I reboot the server.

Where can I find a log that might give me a hint why this happens, or is this a well known problem?  
Is there a better way get it running again as by stop, remove and start?  
What do I need to do to start the container automatically when rebooting the server?

Thanks in advance

Gerald

If you have logging enabled there should be a `vaultwarden.log` file in your data volume directory.  
Else before you stop the container, type `docker logs vaultwarden`
