I have a self-hosted bitwarden environment on ProxMox, running a Windows Server 2022 machine and Docker Desktop.
I have tried reinstalling this multiple times with no solutions.
It appears the Admin and SSO containers are unable to connect to my mssql database that was auto-created on install. I looked at past forum threads and tried troubleshooting this in every which way. No idea what the problem is.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful, thank you.
I am able to successfully reach the login page, I have completely disabled the firewall, and am unable to create accounts as of now.
Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)```
Well after a lot of banging my head against a wall for about 2 weeks, attempting to reinstall this about a million more times, messing with configuration files I gave up and decided spin up an ubuntu server and follow the linux instructions.
The linux instructions aren’t without their own sort of headaches, but at least once I successfully install it the containers all come up healthy.
I suspect based on the lack of response here, that Windows on-prem hosting is outdated, and/or undersupported and in dire need of updating.
Bitwarden should remove the Windows “Support” until they can effectively have that option working.
This is a community forum for users to help each other out. The most that can be read into the lack of response to your post is that none of the users who regularly frequent this forum have any salient personal experience with self-hosting on Windows.
