Bitwarden docker, nginx reverse proxy docker

[Mr-Protocol]

I am having some difficulties with getting Bitwarden (local docker) to work behind an nginx reverse proxy (jwilder docker).

I have seen the docker-compose.overwrite.yml suggestions on other threads and that doesn’t seem to work.

• Configure nginx on main linux account:

docker network create proxnet

version: "3.7"

services:

reverse-proxy:
    image: "jwilder/nginx-proxy:latest"
    container_name: "reverse-proxy"
    volumes:
        - "html:/usr/share/nginx/html"
        - "dhparam:/etc/nginx/dhparam"
        - "vhost:/etc/nginx/vhost.d"
        - "certs:/etc/nginx/certs"
        - "/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro"
    restart: "always"
    networks:
        - "proxnet"
    ports:
        - "80:80"
        - "443:443"
letsencrypt:
    image: "jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:latest"
    container_name: "letsencrypt-helper"
    volumes:
        - "html:/usr/share/nginx/html"
        - "dhparam:/etc/nginx/dhparam"
        - "vhost:/etc/nginx/vhost.d"
        - "certs:/etc/nginx/certs"
        - "/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
    environment:
        NGINX_PROXY_CONTAINER: "reverse-proxy"
        DEFAULT_EMAIL: "[email protected]"
    restart: "always"
    depends_on:
        - "reverse-proxy"
    networks:
        - "proxnet"
volumes:
  certs:
  html:
  vhost:
  dhparam:

networks:
  proxnet:
    external: true

docker-compose up -d

• Switching to bitwarden account install following the local/on-prem install:

Pull the bitwarden.sh
./bitwarden.sh install
Entered value info:
(Insert my sub.domain here)
Let’s Encrypt - no
Have SSL cert - no

I followed the setup in this post for the docker-compose.overwrite.yml replacing domain values for my own and network name to proxnet to match my setup.

Docker install behind nginx reverse proxy

Thank you for this post. I could install with this tips now Bitwarden on my Server pretty easy. I also use a Setup with the jwilder\nginx-proxy I just added following docker-compose.overwrite.yml to the bwdata/docker folder: version: '3' services: nginx: environment: VIRTUAL_PORT: 8080 VIRTUAL_HOST: vault.example.com LETSENCRYPT_HOST: vault.example.com LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: [email protected] networks: default: external: name: nginx-proxy I th…

After everything is set and ./bitwarden.sh rebuild && ./bitwarden.sh start

I get a 503 nginx page when I try to view in a browser. I’m not sure what’s going on, when I run a test basic nginx container it shows the page.

Example:

docker run --rm --name nginx-dummy -e VIRTUAL_HOST=sub.domain.com -e LETSENCRYPT_HOST=sub.domain.com -e VIRTUAL_PORT=8081 --network proxnet -d nginx:latest

I’m at a loss and can’t figure out what isn’t setup correctly.

@Mr-Protocol if you are still looking to solve this. I think I used the same resources as you to get this to work. Setup looks identical. What I found out after reading the docker-compose.yml file inside bwdata/docker, is that the file to overwrite with is supposed to be named “docker-compose.override.yml” and not “docker-compose.overwrite.yml”. I did the same and after renaming the file everything worked like a charm
