Bitwarden - Self-hosted password manager

murgero

@will I don't use the build service app because it can delete other apps mistakenly. I use the following process for building my apps (step by step, literally) using a local linux machine with Docker, npm, git, and cloudron-cli.

Just make sure you have a free dockerhub account

git clone https://github.com/mitchellurgero/cloudron-vscode
cd cloudron-vscode

## Change as you need!
docker build -t dockername/projectname:tagname .
docker push dockername/projectname:tagname

## End docker changes
cloudron login
cloudron install --image dockerhuburl/dockername/projectname:tagname

Example commands when replacing the variables with real items:

git clone https://github.com/murgero/MyApp1-cloudron
cd MyApp1-cloudron

## Change as you need!
docker build -t murgero/MyApp1:latest .
docker push murgero/MyApp1:latest

## End docker changes
cloudron login
cloudron install --image dockerhuburl/murgero/MyApp1:latest

FYI @murgero @will I don’t think that git repo has any of the fixes or changes I’ve added. Try the one I linked much earlier. (I’m on mobile so I can’t link it now).

@murgero building is much easier now. when you call cloudron build it will ask for the registry to upload to. so you just have to enter your-username/your-chosen-name-for-the image, e.g. fbartels/cloudron-bitwardenrs. cloudron install will then automatically use this image.

@will I am still not a huge believer in the ldap sync and the mysql backend of bitwarden. I have updated my repo to the last version and also picked some smtp things from @iamthefij. Sending invites still does not seem to work, will need to look further into this.

Edit: Managed to fix the issue with sending invites. the value of SMTP_AUTH_MECHANISM needs to be quoted, but when exporting it, these quotes are normally removed. Working and up to date version is in the git repo.

iamthefij

@fbartels what issues are you having with the LDAP sync?

fbartels

@iamthefij its not a technical problem, the approach isn't bad either. I think both (LDAP and MySQL) simply add unneeded complexity.

This requires the build service app to be installed on your cloudron which currently has a warning attached to it that it may delete USED docker images from other apps. Until the build service app is more stable, I'll stick to my sure-fire, tried and true way

That is not true. Its build locally and then pushed into the github account.

iamthefij

@fbartels I see. Yea, totally agree that it’s not really necessary for most folks usage. The instance I run outside of Cloudron today uses neither of them. I’m using it as a simple personal password manager.

I believe Cloudron tends to prefer configurations that are ready for a small enterprise. My personal Gogs server was fine with SQLite and local auth as well, but Cloudron is configured with MySQL and LDAP.

I think it’s important to scale for at least 50 intended users for Cloudron apps. I think that this number is even specified in the docs somewhere.

When I try to update my bitwarden app at the existing domain 'bit.mydomain.de' this way, I still get a

Failed to install app: 409 message: Domain 'bit.mydomain.de' is in use

I have a wildcard DNS entry), so a DNS entry for the subdomain should not cause trouble. I also tried cloudron login --allow-selfsigned but it doesn't change anything.

Could the "version" entry in CloudronManifest.jsonbe the culprit?

No, at least not from my experience. It always depends from where you installed an app previously. So for example when you initially installed an app from the official appcenter you can not easily update it with a locally build app. To make it recognize an existing app you can add the --app parameter to the install command.

So e.g. cloudron update --app bit

But make sure that the applications are actually compatible with each other.

necrevistonnezr

Still gettin errors:

osboxes@osboxes:~/bitwardenrs-app$ cloudron update --app bit
Will update app at location bit
 => Waiting for app to be updated 
 => Starting ... ...
 => Backup - Snapshotting app bit.mydomain.de ..

App update error: Installation failed: undefined

osboxes@osboxes:~/bitwardenrs-app$ sudo cloudron update --app bit
Will update app at location bit
Failed to update app: 409 message: Not allowed in error state

fbartels

@necrevistonnezr it seems to fail at downloading the image, so it has nothing to do with the app per se.

Can you also post the output of cloudron build?

Maybe it could also help to remove the existing app before (but since it fails at downloading I would doubt that).

And how do I get past the 409 message: Not allowed in error state?

fbartels

I don't know enough about the internal workings of cloudron to give a definite answer, but from what I see I would guess your first install failed (because it could seemingly not fetch the right image) and now the app is in a failed state.

One way to get out of this is to try restore an earlier backup (but it also said => Backup - undefined ) so its unclear if one exists, or remove the app and start anew.

necrevistonnezr

Thanks for the hint. In the control panel, I have the following error:

An error occurred during the operation: Docker Error: Unable to pull image. Please check the network or if the image needs authentication. statusCode: 404

necrevistonnezr

Stupid me! My docker repository was set to private!
Once made public - at least for the time of updating - a simple click on "repair" in the Cloudron control panel was enough!

fbartels

@necrevistonnezr then this here in the settings would probably be helpful for you:

moonmeister

For those using this. Does/will it support 2FA, and what kind? I'm mostly interested in Yubikey support. Thanks.

iamthefij

Yes. It supports a variety of 2FA including YubiKey.

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
