Tips & operations

  • Persistent volume — vault data lives here; CRITICAL backup
  • SMTP for invites — multi-user features need email
  • WebSocket for real-time — proxy must support WS upgrade
  • Backup is paramount — losing vault = losing all passwords
  • Update Vaultwarden frequently — security tool needs security patches
