Overview

What is Vaultwarden?

Vaultwarden is a lightweight, open-source server that speaks the Bitwarden protocol — so all the official Bitwarden apps, browser extensions and mobile clients work with it out of the box. Written in Rust, it runs comfortably where the official server would need far more resources.

The twist: features Bitwarden sells as premium — TOTP authenticator, emergency access, file attachments, org policies — are simply included when you run Vaultwarden yourself. And the passwords themselves live in a database you control, encrypted end-to-end, instead of in someone else's cloud.

On livemy.app you pick the Vaultwarden template, click deploy, and your password server is live with SSL in about two minutes. Point the Bitwarden apps at your URL, create your vault, and you're done — no Docker, no reverse-proxy homework.

Why deploy here

Same app, no meter running

These tools are free and open source. What you normally pay for is someone else's server — and their pricing page.

Premium features, no subscription

TOTP codes, emergency access, attachments and org policies — things Bitwarden charges for — are simply included when you run the server yourself.

Your vault, your server

Encrypted passwords live in your own database, not in a vendor's cloud. The official Bitwarden apps connect to your URL and work as usual.

No maintenance rabbit hole

SSL, storage and redeploys are handled for you. New Vaultwarden release? One click and you're on it — no server to log into.

How it works

Three steps, about two minutes

01

Pick the Vaultwarden template

Choose it from the gallery. Nothing to download, nothing to configure — the template already knows how Vaultwarden should run.

02

Click deploy

livemy.app builds it and gives you a live URL with SSL. Storage is attached automatically, so your data survives every restart.

03

Make it yours

Connect a custom domain and redeploy anytime in one click — from the dashboard, or triggered over MCP by the AI tool you already use.

FAQ

Self-hosting Vaultwarden, answered

How much does it cost to self-host Vaultwarden?
Free to try — the Free plan is $0 and gives you one project on a livemy.site subdomain. Maker is $10/mo and adds a custom domain, 10 GB and a 99.5% uptime SLA; Pro is $25/mo. Daily backups are a $5/mo add-on — for a password vault they're worth turning on.
Do the official Bitwarden apps work with it?
Yes — that's the point of Vaultwarden. The browser extensions, desktop and mobile apps all connect to your own server URL from their settings. Your vault stays encrypted end-to-end; the server only ever sees ciphertext.
Is it safe to keep passwords on my own server?
Your vault is encrypted on your devices before it reaches the server — whoever runs the server can't read it. Use a strong master password, keep HTTPS on (livemy.app issues SSL automatically) and enable the backups add-on for daily snapshots.
Is self-hosted Vaultwarden hard to maintain?
Not here. The template ships with storage and free SSL already wired up. When a new Vaultwarden version lands you click redeploy in the dashboard — or trigger it over MCP from your AI tool. There's no server to patch and nothing to install on your computer.
