Hi all.  
If I’m correct, it’d be better to uninstall bitwarden\_rs and install vaultwarden. Is there any guide on how to do this? Or anyone who can tell me how I should proceed?  
I’m on a Synology NAS.  
Thanks!

In theorie you should only need to change the image name that’s all.  
I do suggest to make a backup first of course in case something goes wrong.

Thank you @BlackDex.

1. Backup, you mean exporting everything from my Bitwarden app on my PC?
2. so I shouldn’t download the Image, as I did here? →

3. where should I change the name eventually?  
Thanks again!

I don’t know how the synology works, but for the container there should be a volume which holds the persistent data. That volume should be backed-up.

I have no clue on how to change the image name from bitwarden\_rs to vaultwarden on a synology. You may need to create a new container using the same volume, i really have no clue.

Ok - I did it.  
I downloaded the vaultwarden Image (as seen in my previous screenshot).  
Then I clicked on “launch” and configured the docker container with the same parameters as bitwarden one. The only thing I did **before** this, was to SSH into the Synology and copy “docker/bitwarden” folder (and contents) to “docker/vaultwarden” (this way I did a backup too).  
In the _new_ Vaultwarden container I set the latter to be mounted as /data and changed the port mapped to TCP/80 on the _old_ bitwarden\_rs to something different, so that I could reuse this port for Vaultwarden.  
Started it and it works well! 🙂  
Hope this can be of help for somebody else eventually.
