Help installing bitwardenrs docker on Plesk

Third Party Help
1

I am hitting a problem setting up bitwardenrs in a docker in my Plesk account. I have downloaded the latest bitwardenrs/server dicker image and hit the same issue when trying to install it using wither the Plesk GUI interface or from the command line.

The command line I am using is:

docker run -d --name bitwardenrs -v /bwdata:/data -p 49208:80 -p 49209:3012 bitwardenrs/server:latest

The bwdata directory gets populated with an icon_cache directory, plus the SQLite db file 2 .der and one .pem file, but the install seems to hang when I check the console. I’ve pasted the output below. Am I missing anything from the docker config?

Same problem here…

Mine eventually started working when I added an extra parameter to define the location of a log file (which I did to try and work out why it was stalling!)

4

Where? Container configuration?

5

Yes, container config. I added an environment variable called “LOG_FILE” with a value of “/bwdata/bitwarden_rs.log”

I also added a Docker Proxy Rule to the subdomain I created to access the BitWarden admin portal targeted at the port mapped to port 80 in the Docker config.

It works! Thank you very much for your help.

I have the same plan to run vaultwarden in docker under Plesk. The docker container is running but I am having problems to Access the server via https. How did you solve this in Plesk?

You need to enter Docker Proxy Rules on your domain to link up the Docker ports to the outside world.

I used the following Configuration:
