Hi all! Please help. Situation:
Installing from docker-compose:

version: "3"

services:
  vaultwarden:
    container_name: vaultwarden
    dns:
      - 1.1.1.1
    environment:
      #- ADMIN_TOKEN=/run/secrets/vaultwarden-admin-pw
      - globalSettings__mail__replyToEmail=<EMAIL>
      - globalSettings__mail__smtp__host=smtp.gmail.com
      - globalSettings__mail__smtp__username=<EMAIL>
      - globalSettings__mail__smtp__password=<PASSWORD>
      - globalSettings__mail__smtp__ssl=true
      - globalSettings__mail__smtp__port=587
      - globalSettings__disableUserRegistration=true

      - EXTENDED_LOGGING=true
    hostname: vaultwarden

      - /mnt/docker-volumes/vaultwarden/backup:/myBackup
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
    environment:
      - TIMESTAMP=true
      - DELETE_AFTER=30
      - UID=0
      - GID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - BACKUP_DIR=/myBackup
      - CRON_TIME=50 3 * * *

After successful installation, I sent a subdomain to a port in nginx:

server {
  server_name vault.site.com; # your host name
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9565;
  }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/vault.site.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/vault.site.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

}
server {
    if ($host = vault.site.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

  server_name vault.site.com;
    listen 80;
    #return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

I go to the subdomain, the system prompts you to enter an email. I enter, the system says - “Enter your account email to receive a hint for the master password.”. I enter, send and get an error:

vaultwarden         | [2023-06-04 13:46:36.996][vaultwarden::api::core::accounts][ERROR] This server is not configured to provide password hints.

The environment variables for your SMTP configuration seem to be taken from the bitwarden FAQ and are not compatible with vaultwarden.

You either need to set SHOW_PASSWORD_HINT=true (which is generally not recommended) or configure SMTP correctly for password hints to work.
