Bitwarden - Self-hosted password manager

[daniel.goletz]

Any news?
Or simmiliar app in development?

[A Former User]

@fbartels How is the project going?

[fbartels]

@spectrely no, I had no further time to really look into this so far. Busy with other projects.

@spectrely with cloudron now on 18.04 do multi stage builds now work? You can try this with a cloudron build in the git clone'ed directory.

[A Former User]

@fbartels Thanks for the quick reply. I'll play around and report back.

Did you try that out?

LDAP support is a Work in Progress right now.

The plan is not to have it leverage LDAP for auth, but to auto invite users from LDAP so that new user registration doesn't have to be enabled.

[fbartels]

To answer my own question: no Cloudron still does not support multi stage builds:

While a standalone ``docker build .` succeeds doing it via ´cloudron build´ fails.

@iamthefij said in Bitwarden - Self-hosted password manager:

LDAP support is a Work in Progress right now.

I would say even the recently introduced admin panel is already a good step. This could be secured via http basic auth and only allowed for admins in Cloudron. The last point in the ldap sync topic was afair that this will be implemented as a standalone tool (which then will give the challenge on how to integrate both parts in the same image).

[iamthefij]

@fbartels The tool will likely be written as a static binary which can be downloaded and installed within the same container. Then it can be executed by Cloudron using the scheduler. Roughly the same way other periodic tasks are executed.

[parhelium]

Is there chance Bitwarden is going to be included in cloudron soon ?
I would like to start using it.

[fbartels]

Docker has recently been updated on the cloudron buildserver, which means multi stage builds and COPY --from now works within Dockerfiles.

I have a longer train ride on friday, maybe I can now make something happen with Bitwarden_rs.

[fbartels]

basic prototype now lives in https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/bitwardenrs-app

cannot build it at the moment, though. since its stuck at

$ cloudron build

@girish is the backend maybe hanging?

edit: by now the build has finished

[necrevistonnezr]

Great that this is being worked on!

I installed the app but get the following errors:

After restarting the app it's now not responding
Tried sudo systemctl restart boxas well.

Hi @fbartels

Build and install worked without problems, but i'm facing the same issue as @necrevistonnezr

Couln't really find something on the first view, but i'm not that familiar with containers. Would be great to see it running, thank you for your efforts you already made!

[gml]

@fbartels It works now with the fix from my colleague m4rg4sh (he submitted a pull request). Also there is a new version 1.8.0 - I just updated to it and everything looks great so far

[fbartels]

Thanks for the pr. I just merged it and also update the dockerfile to 1.8.0.

[gml]

You're welcome

I hope this pr is going to be merged into bitwarden_rs soon: https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/pull/396

It would make it a lot easier for the user management. Currently registration is open to the world until you set ENV SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false, which only makes sense after you created a first account. After setting it you could work with invites, but the invitation model sucks (you can just invite when having an Organisation or you can do it in the admin panel, but you have to set another env variable to access it and you can't save stuff there).

So currently not really usable for the normal user. As far as I understood, with the ldap integration accounts / invites will be synced for all ldap users, which is exactly what we want. I also hope the admin panel gets some love, as in my eyes the token system to log in there isn't really easy to handle. And there seems to be a problem saving the settings you set there, but that's probably a problem in the cloudron integration.

[fbartels]

@gml yes, the ldap invite tool would be nice. I think the best for the moment would be to slap Apache Infront of bitwarden (would be needed anyways for the websocket part) and hide the admin panel behind ldap auth (only allow admin users from within cloudron). Then invites and open registration can be disabled and admins can manually create accounts as needed.

[fbartels]

I've now spent a bit of time to get the admin page "properly" working. Registrations are now disabled in the app itself, but users that are in the cloudron admin group can login to /admin to create the required users.

Stuff like Websockets support (for folder notifications) is still missing, as well as automatic SMTP configuration but I would say the general app is "done".

Looking forward to feedback.

[gml]

Hi @fbartels

Thank you for your great work! This is definitely on a good path

Some few things I noticed:

• Saving a config throws a Error saving config: IOError. I also checked with a reboot and it seems it really can't be saved right now. (also smtp wouldn't be possible without this fixed)
• When accessing the admin panel when not logged into cloudron, you get a password prompt. A 403 HTTP would probably be more suitable and secure

And as a small Bonus: As the app is getting in a pretty good shape, it is time for a logo =D
here you go: https://github.com/bitwarden/brand/blob/master/icons/256x256.png

[fbartels]

@gml thanks. I have fixed the location of the config.json created by the admin panel. Settings can now be stored (but SMTP settings should probably be done in start.sh instead). I have also added your logo.

The password prompt is actually expected since ldap auth is used in the webserver. The only way around the prompt would be to use oauth instead, but in previous attempts (the cloud torrent app) I did not get this to run.
