Vaultwarden
An unofficial, lightweight, self-hosted Bitwarden-compatible password manager server written in Rust.
What is Vaultwarden?
Vaultwarden is an unofficial, open-source server implementation of the Bitwarden password manager API. It allows users to self-host a fully compatible password management server that works with all official Bitwarden clients. It solves the problem of running a resource-intensive official server by providing a lightweight, efficient alternative written in Rust.
Individuals, families, and small organizations who want to self-host their password manager on their own hardware or private cloud, especially those with limited resources or who prioritize control over their data.
Developers choose Vaultwarden because it offers near-complete Bitwarden API compatibility with dramatically lower resource consumption, enabling self-hosting on modest hardware. Its active community, containerized deployment, and focus on the self-hosting ecosystem make it a practical and sustainable alternative.
