I’ve noticed that my bitwarden\_rs instance doesn’t appear to be able to get iOS app push updates of changes. Websockets work great, however. I saw on the official BW site that I needed to request an installation id and key, which I have done (I am a paid user for their official service).

Their docs state that these items need to be added to the global.override.env file. To my knowledge, the bitwarden\_rs instance doesn’t leverage this file, and I can’t find any reference to the installation\_\_id and key in the admin panel or the .env.template file.

Is the only way to get iOS app push updates via the official BW container, or is there a way to pass along these environmental variables to bitwarden\_rs?

Thanks in advance!

bitwarden\_rs doesn’t support mobile push notifications currently. I suspect it’s possible to implement, but I’m not aware of anyone actively working on this feature.
