[SOLVED] Creating with non-root user can't establish connection to the server

Help
1

If I use the root user as in this docker-compose file:

version: ‘2’
services:
bitwarden:
image: bitwardenrs/server:raspberry
container_name: bitwarden
networks:
- lsio
volumes:
- /home/username/docker/bitwarden/bw-data:/data
ports:
- 8005:80
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
lsio:
external:
name: lsio

The stack successfully deploys and is in good health and I’m able to navigate to :8005 and bitwarden page shows up in the browser. However, I’m unable to create a new account. The submit button is completely non-responsive. Does nothing. Appreciate help on this one also. :slight_smile:

For security reasons as this will be an internet facing server, I want to use a non-root user. I change the docker-compose file to:

version: ‘2’
services:
bitwarden:
image: bitwardenrs/server:raspberry
user: 1001:1001
container_name: bitwarden
networks:
- lsio
volumes:
- /home/username/docker/bitwarden/bw-data:/data
ports:
- 8005:1024
environment:
- ROCKET_PORT=8080
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
lsio:
external:
name: lsio

Again, the stack creating is fine, no errors. The sqllite db and other cert files are being created under bw-data.Container is healthy.

From the logs:

The problem is now I’m unable to connect when I navigate to :8005.
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.xxx.xx:8005.

You set ROCKET_PORT to 8080, which tells bitwarden_rs to listen on port 8080, but then you told Docker to connect to bitwarden_rs on port 1024. These port values have to match.

For your other issue, first open the browser developer tools (pressing F12 usually works), then try to create a new account and check the network tab for any failed requests.

Thank you! Solved the issue.
