Docker containers for vaultwarden (formerly known as bitwarden_rs
) backup to remote.
Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs
, renamed to vaultwarden
.
For this reason, the backup tool was migrated to ttionya/vaultwarden-backup.
The old image can still be used, just DEPRECATED. It is recommended to migrate to new image ttionya/vaultwarden-backup.
See how to migrate here.
This tool supports backing up the following files or directories.
db.sqlite3
(for SQLite database)db.dump
(for PostgreSQL database)db.sql
(for MySQL / MariaDB database)config.json
rsa_key*
(multiple files)attachments
(directory)sends
(directory)
And the following ways of notifying backup results are supported.
- Ping (only send on success)
- Mail (SMTP based, send on success and on failure)
Important: We assume you already read the
vaultwarden
documentation.
For backup, you need to configure Rclone first, otherwise the backup tool will not work.
For restore, it is not necessary.
We upload the backup files to the storage system by Rclone.
Visit GitHub for more storage system tutorials. Different systems get tokens differently.
You can get the token by the following command.
docker run --rm -it \
--mount type=volume,source=vaultwarden-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest \
rclone config
We recommend setting the remote name to BitwardenBackup
, otherwise you need to specify the environment variable RCLONE_REMOTE_NAME
as the remote name you set.
After setting, check the configuration content by the following command.
docker run --rm -it \
--mount type=volume,source=vaultwarden-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest \
rclone config show
# Microsoft Onedrive Example
# [BitwardenBackup]
# type = onedrive
# token = {"access_token":"access token","token_type":"token type","refresh_token":"refresh token","expiry":"expiry time"}
# drive_id = driveid
# drive_type = personal
If you are a new user or are rebuilding vaultwarden, it is recommended to use the docker-compose.yml
from the project.
Download docker-compose.yml
to you machine, edit environment variables and start it.
You need to go to the directory where the docker-compose.yml
file is saved.
# Start
docker-compose up -d
# Stop
docker-compose stop
# Restart
docker-compose restart
# Remove
docker-compose down
If you have a running vaultwarden but don't want to use docker-compose.yml
, we also provide a backup method for you.
Make sure that your vaultwarden container is named vaultwarden
otherwise you have to replace the container name in the --volumes-from
section of the docker run call.
By default the data folder for vaultwarden is /data
, you need to explicitly specify the data folder using the environment variable DATA_DIR
.
Start the backup container with default settings. (automatic backup at 5 minute every hour)
docker run -d \
--restart=always \
--name vaultwarden_backup \
--volumes-from=vaultwarden \
--mount type=volume,source=vaultwarden-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
-e DATA_DIR="/data" \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest
Important: Restore will overwrite the existing files.
You need to stop the Docker container before the restore.
You also need to download the backup files to your local machine.
Because the host's files are not accessible in the Docker container, you need to map the directory where the backup files that need to be restored are located to the docker container.
And go to the directory where your backup files to be restored are located.
If you use the docker-compose.yml
provided with this project, you can use the following command.
docker run --rm -it \
--mount type=volume,source=vaultwarden-data,target=/bitwarden/data/ \
--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/bitwarden/restore/ \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest restore \
[OPTIONS]
If you are using "automatic backups", please confirm the vaultwarden volume and replace the --mount
source
section.
Also don't forget to use the environment variable DATA_DIR
to specify the data directory (-e DATA_DIR="/data"
).
docker run --rm -it \
\ # If you are mapping the local folder to a docker container, like `vw-data`
--mount type=bind,source="the absolution path to your local folder",target=/data/ \
\ # If you are using docker volume
--mount type=volume,source="docker volume name",target=/data/ \
--mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/bitwarden/restore/ \
-e DATA_DIR="/data" \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest restore \
[OPTIONS]
See Options for options information.
For restore without asking for confirmation.
USE WITH CAUTION!!
※ You have the compressed file named backup
You need to use this option to specify the backup
compressed package.
Make sure the file name in the compressed package has not been changed.
THIS IS INSECURE!
If the backup
compressed package has a password, you can use this option to set the password to extract it.
If not, the password will be asked for interactively.
※ You have multiple independent backup files
You need to use this option to specify the db.*
file.
You need to use this option to specify the config.json
file.
You need to use this option to specify the rsakey.tar
file.
You need to use this option to specify the attachments.tar
file.
You need to use this option to specify the sends.tar
file.
Note: All environment variables have default values, you can use the docker image without setting any environment variables.
The name of the Rclone remote, which needs to be consistent with the remote name in the rclone config.
You can view the current remote name with the following command.
docker run --rm -it \
--mount type=volume,source=vaultwarden-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest \
rclone config show
# [BitwardenBackup] <- this
# ...
Default: BitwardenBackup
The folder where backup files are stored in the storage system.
Default: /BitwardenBackup/
Rclone global flags, see flags.
Do not add flags that will change the output, such as -P
, which will affect the deletion of outdated backup files.
Default: ''
Schedule to run the backup script, based on supercronic
. You can test the rules here.
Default: 5 * * * *
(run the script at 5 minute every hour)
Pack all backup files into a compressed file. When set to 'FALSE'
, each backup file will be uploaded independently.
Default: TRUE
The password for the compressed file. Note that the password will always be used when packing the backup files.
Default: WHEREISMYPASSWORD?
Because the zip
format is less secure, we offer archives in 7z
format for those who seek security.
It should be noted that the password for vaultwarden is encrypted before it is sent to the server. The server does not have plaintext passwords, so the zip
format is good enough for basic encryption needs.
Default: zip
(only support zip
and 7z
formats)
Only keep last a few days backup files in the storage system. Set to 0
to keep all backup files.
Default: 0
Each backup file is suffixed by default with %Y%m%d
. If you back up your vault multiple times a day, that suffix is not unique anymore. This environment variable allows you to append a unique suffix to that date to create a unique backup name.
You can use any character except for /
since it cannot be used in Linux file names.
This environment variable combines the functionalities of BACKUP_FILE_DATE
and BACKUP_FILE_DATE_SUFFIX
, and has a higher priority. You can directly use this environment variable to control the suffix of the backup files.
Please use the date man page for the format notation.
Default: %Y%m%d
Set your timezone name.
Here is timezone list at wikipedia.
Default: UTC
Use healthcheck.io url or similar cron monitoring to perform GET
requests after a successful backup.
Starting from v1.19.0, we will be using s-nail
instead of heirloom-mailx
to send emails.
Please note that heirloom-mailx
is a stub for s-nail
, and most of its functionality is compatible. Therefore, you may not need to modify any environment variables for this change.
Default: FALSE
Because the configuration for sending emails is too complicated, we allow you to configure it yourself.
We will set the subject according to the usage scenario, so you should not use the -s
option.
During testing, we will add the -v
option to display detailed information.
# My example:
# For Zoho
-S smtp-use-starttls \
-S smtp=smtp:https://smtp.zoho.com:587 \
-S smtp-auth=login \
-S smtp-auth-user=<my-email-address> \
-S smtp-auth-password=<my-email-password> \
-S from=<my-email-address>
Console showing warnings? Check issue #177 for more details.
This specifies the recipient of the notification email.
Sends an email when the backup is successful.
Default: TRUE
Sends an email when the backup fails.
Default: TRUE
This folder stores the data of vaultwarden.
When using Docker Compose
, this does not need to be changed. However, when using automatic backup, you need to change it to /data
.
Default: /bitwarden/data
※ Other environment variables
You don't need to change these environment variables unless you know what you are doing.
You should use the BACKUP_FILE_SUFFIX
environment variable instead.
Edit this environment variable only if you explicitly want to change the time prefix of the backup file (e.g. 20220101). Incorrect configuration may result in the backup file being overwritten by mistake.
Same rule as BACKUP_FILE_DATE_SUFFIX
.
Default: %Y%m%d
You should use the BACKUP_FILE_SUFFIX
environment variable instead.
Each backup file is suffixed by default with %Y%m%d
. If you back up your vault multiple times a day, that suffix is not unique anymore.
This environment variable allows you to append a unique suffix to that date (%Y%m%d${BACKUP_FILE_DATE_SUFFIX}
) to create a unique backup name.
Note that only numbers, upper and lower case letters, -
, _
, %
are supported.
Please use the date man page for the format notation.
Default: ''
Set the path for the sqlite database file.
Default: ${DATA_DIR}/db.sqlite3
Set the path for the rsa_key file.
Default: ${DATA_DIR}/rsa_key
Set the path for the attachment folder.
Default: ${DATA_DIR}/attachments
Set the path for the sends folder.
Default: ${DATA_DIR}/sends
If you prefer using an env file instead of environment variables, you can map the env file containing the environment variables to the /.env
file in the container.
docker run -d \
--mount type=bind,source=/path/to/env,target=/.env \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest
As an alternative to passing sensitive information via environment variables, _FILE
may be appended to the previously listed environment variables. This causes the initialization script to load the values for those variables from files present in the container. In particular, this can be used to load passwords from Docker secrets stored in /run/secrets/<secret_name>
files.
docker run -d \
-e ZIP_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/zip-password \
ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest
We will use the environment variables first, followed by the contents of the file ending in _FILE
as defined by the environment variables. Next, we will use the contents of the file ending in _FILE
as defined in the .env
file, and finally the values from the .env
file itself.
You can use the following command to test mail sending. Remember to replace your SMTP variables.
docker run --rm -it -e MAIL_SMTP_VARIABLES='<your smtp variables>' ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest mail <mail send to>
# Or
docker run --rm -it -e MAIL_SMTP_VARIABLES='<your smtp variables>' -e MAIL_TO='<mail send to>' ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest mail
If you use automatic backups, you just need to replace the image with ttionya/vaultwarden-backup
. Note the name of your volume.
If you are using docker-compose
, you need to update bitwardenrs/server
to vaultwarden/server
and ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup
to ttionya/vaultwarden-backup
.
We recommend re-downloading the docker-compose.yml
file, replacing your environment variables, and noting the volumes
section, which you may need to change.
- Run as non-root user
- Multiple remote destinations
- Manually trigger a backup
- Using the PostgreSQL backend
- Using the MySQL(MariaDB) backend
