Bitwarden - Self-hosted password manager
-
@necrevistonnezr said in Bitwarden - Self-hosted password manager:
cloudron build
Ok went through the steps.
- installed docker, registered and made an empty public repo
- On my linux vm I got docker up and running
- Cloned that repo to local dir
- Ran Cloudron build inside repo folder
- Seemed to build but then asked if I was logged into docker?
- Logged into docker and cloudron on the CLI and tried again.
CLI seemed to try to get at a repo at docker.io, but my repo is at hub.docker.com
Sorta installed, visible in cloudron error message in cloudron:
If a configuration, update, restore or backup action resulted in an error, you can retry the task.
An error occurred during the install operation: Not found: Unable to pull image willrimmer/bitwarden_rs:20200320-035449-643626a03. message: (HTTP code 404) unexpected - manifest for willrimmer/bitwarden_rs:20200320-035449-643626a03 not found statusCode: 404
Let me know if I'm understanding the flow correctly.
- Clone from github locally.
- Package up a Cloudron ready docker container and push to Docker Hub
- Cloudron grabs and deploys from Docker Hub(?)
-
BTW, when looking for the newest Docker releases, this site https://docker-hub-rss.now.sh and in particular this feed
https://docker-hub-rss.now.sh/bitwardenrs/server.atom is ery helpful... -
@girish Woohoo! It worked!
01 Installing the App
$ sudo docker login
$ sudo cloudron login my.example.com
$ git clone https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/bitwardenrs-app
$ cd bitwardenrs-app
$ sudo cloudron build
Enter repository (e.g registry/username/com.github.bitwardenrs): username/dockerhub-repo
$ sudo cloudron install -l bitwarden.example.com02 Updating the App
$ git pull https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/bitwardenrs-app
$ sudo cloudron build
$ sudo cloudron update --app bitwarden.example.com03 Configuring the App
Go to bitwarden.example.com/admin to configure.I can add users manually, is there a way to tie this Cloudron LDAP?
Thanks! -
@will Yes, you can use LDAP if you use the version I published.
https://git.cloudron.io/iamthefij/bitwardenrs-app
Updated to the latest version.
I haven't updated to the latest versions of Bitwarden just yet though. I'll give that a go now.Edit: It looks like Bitwarden_rs was updated to use a newer base image for building it's binaries. That means that when the binary used in the MySQL image is built, it's compiled against a newer version of
libmariadb. It doesn't look like the Cloudron base image has been updated in a year, so I'm unable to just bump the version in the single-stageDockerfilein my repo. However, I also have a multi-stageDockerfilethat will compile Bitwarden_rs from source against whatever version oflibmariadbthat is present. This should work but takes more time to build so I'm letting that run right now. I'll update when it's done. Edit: It's done!Related, but kind off topic: Can we get an update to the Cloudron base? How will those be handled in an ongoing basis since apps are pinned (as they should be) to a particular base? I imagine there have been security updates in the last year.
-
@iamthefij An update to the Cloudron base image gets brought up every few months for the last year or so. The most recent official mention of an updated base image was by @nebulon last August but it there's been a pin stuck in that with the aggressive releases as of late - perhaps this and other apps getting updated and looking to move forward soon will help un-stick that again, especially since it's been about a year since 1.0.0 dropped.
cc @girish for a more definitive idea
-
@jimcavoli Now with 5.x out, I think it's time to bring out a new base image. Still working on the blog post and newsletter, so after that.
@will Bitwarden server never sees any user password and all encryption is done client side (please see https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/pull/677#issuecomment-545081380 and the full thread). For this reason, one can only implement a system where LDAP users can be automatically added into the bitwarden db and then sent an email invite. @iamthefij has automated the LDAP sync and invitation flow for Cloudron LDAP. Note that, the users have to use the invitation to sign up and setup a master password (which is totally independent of Cloudron password).
In short, you can just add/invite users manually into bitwarden if you don't have that many users. There is no real LDAP sign in.
-
@will the Readme should contain the details you need. It also includes an explanation on how the LDAP integration functions (as @girish said, it's not like most apps due to the client side encryption model used in Bitwarden).
If you're familiar with building a Cloudron app, you should be able to build as normal. The compiling of the binary is handled within the Dockerfile itself by leveraging multi-stage bulds.

@iamthefij Just tried to build using the same steps I used for the fbartels version and got this error:

@will Strange. It looks like you're getting some validation issue from
bionic-*for some reason. Possibly the clocks are off. Maybe try again? That's not specific to this project.It looks like you could reproduce with an new
Dockerfilebelow, or just rebuild the existing one as caching should be in place now.FROM cloudron/base:1.0.0@sha256:147a648a068a2e746644746bbfb42eb7a50d682437cead3c67c933c546357617 RUN apt-get updateDoes it work now? If not, check your system clock and timezone.

Interesting note:
I was using Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux last night. I performed the following steps:
01 Installing the App
$ sudo docker login
$ sudo cloudron login my.example.com
$ git clone https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/bitwardenrs-app
$ cd bitwardenrs-app
$ sudo cloudron build
Enter repository (e.g registry/username/com.github.bitwardenrs): docker-hub-username/docker-hub-public-repo
$ sudo cloudron install
Location: bitwarden.example.comAfter that the apps worked in Cloudron, worked great!
Today I uninstalled the app, and ran through the same steps on a Fedora WSL box, the app deploys, but it seems to not be serving anything. I checked the logs and found this:
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.18.0.13. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Everything else looks good with the startup of the container. Thoughts?If Fedora isn't a supported dev enviroment, I'll swap back over to Ubuntu. Thanks guys!EDIT: It was DNS propagation with this issue! It's always DNS....

@will Mostly, we are just super short on time
To release an app, we need to test the package, write docs, write tests, make sure updates work, make sure we understand packaging, all so that we can support it. Cloudron customers also ask us many app related questions so we have to be in a position to (reasonably) answer them.Of course, we can just publish the app and skip all the above. I understand there is a need to "just publish" and we have a great bunch of early adopters here who will put up with all the above. I just spoke to @nebulon about this, we will get unstable package for bitwarden shortly without any of the above.
-
@will just a note, I don't believe fbartels version supports a using a dump for backing up the database. This means that if the backup is taken while the db is in a transaction, it could be corrupted.
Bitwarden_rs now supports an admin API for making sqlite backups, but does not have any cron embedded. Similar to the way the LDAP sync tool works, an additional script could be added to periodically make dumps of the sqlite database so that it can be properly backed up.
Instead, the version I have is using MySQL, which leverages the native Cloudron backup and restore functionality.
That and the LDAP invite service are the real differences between the two forks. If you do not wish to use automated LDAP invites on my fork, you can select to opt out when installing. This is covered in the readme.
