Bitwarden.example.com/admin page no longer works

Michael2 · April 26, 2023, 2:42am

Hello everyone,

Bitwarden: self host docker. 2023.3.0
Compute: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Problem:
Self hosted instance has been stable with no issues since installation. Updates happen in an automated fashion as documented in the documentation. I recently needed to get into the /admin URI. When i go to the page im greeted to a 535 authentication error. Strange. I then enter in the admin email ive set up since the beginning. I then get a HTTP ERROR 404 error.
The only change ive done recently is to my admin email account password. I have updated the global.override.env file and put in the new password.

When i rebuild the configuraton i see the following messages:
WARN[0000] The “pZTY3aG” variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

Again, no clue what that even means. The global override change is the most recent change ive made to this deployment so im somewhat stumped here.

EDIT: Whats interesting is if i put in a bogus email address in the /admin page, i get a message that the email has been sent. If i use my legit account that i set up in the global override file thats when i get the 404 error.

Hi Michael,
i got the same problem like you, have you solve it yet?

my env:
bitwarden.sh version 2023.7.0
Docker version 24.0.5, build ced0996
Docker Compose version v2.20.2

Problems:

When i use the “adminSettings__admins” email writen in the global.override.env to log in my self hosted bw.xx.com/admin, i got a 404 about bw.xx.com/login. When return to last page , i got a message “Name or service not known”
But when use a bogus email, i got the message “If a valid admin user with this email address exists, we’ve sent you an email with a secure link to log in.”

I tried to check the admin log(/opt/bitwarden/bwdata/logs/admin/Admin) and it shows below, which i have no idea what to do.
