I can’t seem to install Vaultwarden correctly it times out is unresponsive.

I was Trying to switch from bitwarden because I’m in some glitch that it will not update.

I installed fresh Ubuntu 22.4 and fresh Vaultwarden but I can’t get to the web interface even with disbaleing ufw or enableing it and allowing ports 80 an 443 .

I followed the directions on your site. I Get Telnet to localhost on port 80 I even get telnet 10.33.33.4 80 to work from same ssh session but when I go to load it in the browser I get either un responsive or timeouts messages … it’s been over a week. and I tore The VM down. I’ll build another one. when I get a moment and try it again. but in regards to what I tried I put all that into the original post I don’t know what else to try.

I’m having the same issue. Here’s my docker-compose.yml file:

```auto

services:
  vaultwarden:
    pod: "bitwarden"
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    container_name: vaultwarden
    restart: always
    environment:
      WEBSOCKET_ENABLED: "true" # Enable WebSocket notifications.
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data:/data:Z
    ports:
      - 80:80/tcp

```

Here’s what the console says:

```auto

[2023-04-10 04:10:03.167][vaultwarden::api::notifications][INFO] Starting WebSockets server on 0.0.0.0:3012

[2023-04-10 04:10:03.169][start][INFO] Rocket has launched from http://0.0.0.0:80

```

I already checked the server’s firewall, and port 80 is open. when I try to go to http://(LAN IP of server), the connection times out.

I am using AlmaLinux 8 for the OS.

# EDIT:

I got the container to work using this command:  
`docker run -d --name vaultwarden -v ./vw-data/:/data/:Z -p 80:80 vaultwarden/server:latest`  
NOTE: the `:Z` is for SELinux. remove it if your linux distribution doesn’t use it.

AFAIK there’s some sort of issue with port-forwarding when using `docker-compose`. I am not sure what it is, but it’s not working with docker-compose.  
2nd NOTE: RHEL-based systems use Podman. Although I see @blindrain having issues with Ubuntu, so it’s that Podman isn’t causing any issues.

@blindrain you might want to try runing the command above (remove the `:Z` before you do).

Lastly, if you do get this to work, you may have need to [enable the admin page](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Enabling-admin-page).
