This will indeed make it a single-container deployment. While this is also not the only version this solution can be run, if there is no way to connect to an external DB, it can be configured to use an internal SQLite DB. The BW container and an outside database. Single-container aka 'unified' version of self-hosted Bitwardenĭubbed a unified self-host deployment solution, this version of Bitwarden will be by far much easier to maintain as it has only two major moving parts. Standard self-host deployment of Bitwardenīack at the start of December 2022, Bitwarden started to develop its own single-image version (well with a database as being a separate one) to concatenate all the different core, front-end, and back-end services under one container. This is another reason that self-hoster for the most part use VaultWarden implementation. Now, that are a lot of images and elements to keep in sync just to provide a password manager solution. The official Bitwarden solution can also be self-hosted via Docker but it is a bit much to maintain coming in with a big stack of eleven (11) containers.
