What is a Bitwarden VPS?

Your passwords on a server you control.

Bitwarden keeps every login, card and secure note in one encrypted vault and fills them in on your phone, laptop and browser — no more reused passwords or hunting for the Wi-Fi key. A Bitwarden VPS puts that vault on a server you rent and control: pick Bitwarden in the One-Click Apps catalog, Coolify deploys it in one click, and you host your own Bitwarden server without writing Docker Compose files by hand.

Because it's a KVM VPS with full root access, you decide how your vault runs: serve it on your own domain over HTTPS, switch off public sign-ups once everyone has an account, connect SMTP for invites and set your own Backup routine. You stay responsible for updates and encrypted exports — in return, nobody else holds your data, and the official Bitwarden apps simply connect to your server URL.

Your passwords on a server you control.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Bitwarden

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in your panel and select Bitwarden — Coolify deploys the containers for you. Before the first start, request a free Installation ID and Key from Bitwarden and enter them in the setup form. Then open your server URL and create the first account. Learn more in the Help Center

  • Order a VPS and open One-Click Apps
  • Select Bitwarden and start the Coolify deploy
  • Enter Installation ID and Key, then create your account

It depends on how many people use the vault and which Bitwarden features you run. One person or a family usually starts on a smaller plan; a team with organizations and many attachments should pick more RAM and CPU. Compare the resources of all plans in the table above and choose the one that fits your setup.

  • Individual: an entry plan for one vault
  • Family: room for several accounts and devices
  • Small team: more RAM for organizations and attachments

The Bitwarden server software is open source, and its core password manager is free to self-host. What you pay for is the VPS: our plans start at €7.29 per month, and the table above shows live prices for all plans. Premium features and paid organization plans need a license key from Bitwarden.

Yes, you should plan for one. Bitwarden's apps and browser extensions expect your server to be reachable over HTTPS, so point a domain or subdomain such as vault.example.com at your VPS IP. Coolify's built-in proxy publishes Bitwarden on that domain and can request a free Let's Encrypt certificate. In each app, choose self-hosted and enter your server URL.

  • Point a DNS record at your VPS IP
  • Assign the domain to Bitwarden in Coolify
  • Enter the https:// URL in every Bitwarden app

You're in charge of your Backups. Create manual VPS Backups in the panel before updates and restore them if something goes wrong — VPS Backups and restores are part of ZapX Pass. On top of that, export your vault regularly as an encrypted file and keep a copy off the server, so you can import it into any Bitwarden server. Backups in the Help Center

  • VPS Backup with ZapX Pass before updates
  • Encrypted vault export on a regular schedule
  • Keep one copy outside the VPS

Both servers work with the same official Bitwarden apps and browser extensions. Bitwarden's own server brings the System Administrator Portal, organizations and license-based premium features, and suits you if you want the vendor's code base. Vaultwarden is a lighter, community-built alternative that needs fewer resources — our Vaultwarden VPS page covers that option.

You choose the data center when you order, from our locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to you and the people who use the vault — many North American users start with Ashburn.

Yes, you can cancel anytime in your panel. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term, so your Bitwarden server keeps running until then. Export your vault before the term ends so you can move it to another server or app.

The Bitwarden app says it can't reach my server — what should I check?
Start with the basics: does your domain's DNS record point to the VPS IP, and does the URL open over HTTPS in a browser? In the app, the server URL must be the full https:// address. Next, I can walk you through checking the Coolify proxy logs.
Where do I find those logs?
Open the Bitwarden resource in Coolify and switch to the logs view. Look for certificate or routing errors — paste the lines here and I'll explain what they mean.

Performance

Measured speed for your Bitwarden server
