Sorry if this is too obvious. I updated bitwardenrs/server docker. It is now version 1.18.0. Diagnostics page shows that 1.18.0 is already installed and latest version. However, same page shows that web-vault is version 2.17.1 while the latest version is 2.18.1. How can I update the web-vault to 2.18.1? Isn’t web-vault included in the server docker? I would appreciate clarification. Thank you. ---

I am also very much interested. I have in Diagnostics ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/vaultwarden/original/1X/5e3dd815510e886a91f0003dc40d5face3bcf8ab.png) and my only Bitwarden docker is updated nightly. **What is the “Web installed” information actually about?** I first thought that this would be the Chrome extension, but it is at `1.48.1` in my case ---

Web refers to the web vault, which is versioned separately from the backend server. This is true with upstream Bitwarden as well. The web vault version bundled with the bitwarden\_rs Docker image is usually, but not always, the latest. Unless you know what you’re doing (and you probably don’t, unless you closely follow changes to the bitwarden\_rs source code), you shouldn’t upgrade it separately since there are some customizations specific to bitwarden\_rs.

> [@jjlin](#): > > Web refers to the web vault, which is versioned separately from the backend server. Thank you for the details. But in that case, I am not sure I understand your question: the docker container contents are going to update when they update, right? There is nothing else one can do except updating the image? ---

Yes, most users should just pull the `latest` tag to update when the next release comes out, which should be soon. Or users willing to live with a little more excitement in their password management life can use the `testing` tag, which currently comes with the latest web vault. See [Which container image to use · dani-garcia/bitwarden\_rs Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Which-container-image-to-use#image-tags) for the different tags available. ---

~~Yes, I understand all of this (I run many docker containers, either built by someone from Docker Hub, or with my own code - I have a home DRP that relies on these setups).~~ ~~In that context I just did not understand why you are asking your question in the first place, since the update will happen when it will happen.~~ Ahhhh @jjlin, **I just realized that you are not OP**. Sorry for the confusion! ---

Maybe i need to remove this specific check, and only show the version. It is causing confusion. ---

Since everything comes in a standalone package the end-user does not have control over, I think this is a good idea (also probably the “Server Latest” one). ---

No, the server latest i will leave, since people forget to update there containers. So that is actually needed.
