Hello,

for whatever reason (nothing changed) my bitwarden installation on my local server is not accessable anymore.  
I own my domain [bitwarden.mydomain.de](http://bitwarden.mydomain.de) and this is forwarded to my routers dyndns  
all traffice on 443 and 80 are redirected to my server  
on this server i have 3 docker container running  
1.) SWAG  
2.) Nextcloud  
3.) bitwarden  
each in a seperate container. Nextcloud is accessible but bitwarden not.

here the error log:

> 2022/12/06 12:01:54 [error] 300#300: _1 bitwarden could not be resolved (3: Host not found), client: 92.117.255.219, server: bitwarden._, request: “GET /favicon.ico HTTP/2.0”, host: “bitwarden.mydomain”, referrer: “https:/bitwarden.mydomain.de/”

and there the nginx conf:

server {  
listen 443 ssl;  
listen [::]:443 ssl;

```
server_name bitwarden.*;

include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

client_max_body_size 128M;

location / {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
    set $upstream_app bitwarden;
    set $upstream_port 80;
    set $upstream_proto http;
    proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}

location /admin {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
    set $upstream_app bitwarden;
    set $upstream_port 80;
    set $upstream_proto http;
    proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}

location /notifications/hub {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
    set $upstream_app bitwarden;
    set $upstream_port 3012;
    set $upstream_proto http;
    proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}

location /notifications/hub/negotiate {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
    set $upstream_app bitwarden;
    set $upstream_port 80;
    set $upstream_proto http;
    proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}

```

}

Thanks for your help

Hello @Surfer2010,

I’m by no means an expert in nginx (_been meaning to learn one day soon_) but from what I can gather you are forwarding `443` from nginx to port `80` for web traffic and `3012` for WebSocket notification updates for live sync between supported clients.

From the docker config I can see your Vaultwarden container is set to use the host ports `8743` which forwarding into the container port → `80` and host port `3743` → container port `3012`

Perhaps check your docker run command, the docker-compose file, or whatever method used to spin up your Vaultwarden instance.  
You may also wish to check if there is a update available for the image you are running.

Hope this helps 🙂

The issue was due to the nginx docker container not being in the same docker network as the vaultwarden container.  
Topic can be closed.  
Thanks

I know networking especially docker network can always be tricky to wrap your head around sometimes.

Glad to hear you got it figured out. 👍
