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.
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.
