Chrome plugin dont connect to self hosted

Hello, I have had problems with Bitwarden for years.

The thing is that by installing everything from scratch I can create my account and make the first login, but after a while the Chrome plugin loses the connection with the server. The local credentials database is maintained and usable but when trying to make any changes such as editing or entering a new entry it tells me that it cannot connect to the server (failed to fetch error).

My setup is the following, I run the server in Docker on Lunux, I use a self-generated certificate and I use the internal/local IP of the server to connect from the chrome plugin (I do it this way since I only use bitwarden on my local network, not I’m interested in connecting from outside of it).

If I try to enter bitwarden using the web interface with the local IP of that server, I can succeed without problems.

Any idea what it could be?

Thank you very much in advance.

no body?

i cant fond the problem…

@wolframio Welcome to the forum!

… Did you search the forum for “failed to fetch”?

Sidenote: I changed this topic from a “Feature Request” to “Ask the Community”.

Yes…

Also, thanks for put the correct “topic tag”.

What is your server version? Let me know if force syncing the Chrome extension resolves the issue.

2024.8.1 ??? that appear on the bottom of the web interface log in page…

“Let me know if force syncing the Chrome extension”
Where i find that?

This is what i found so far:

If I log in via the Bitwarden web interface and then make changes or add some new items to my vault through the browser extension, everything works as it should, but after a while the browser extension doesn’t is able to make changes or add new elements…

If I log in again via the web interface, the cycle repeats.

I assume that the problem is when the web interface session expires, I tried setting the “Custom wait time to safe box” to 9999999 hours but this has no effect, if I re-enter the web interface in a few minutes I have I have to log in again.

Thanks again!!

Thanks for confirmation, please update your server to the latest version and let us know if that resolves the issue.

Thanks!

After the update (have to free space on the server also redownload the install script) everything works as it should except the dialog that offers to save the credentials when you log in to a site that does not have any entries stored in the Bitwarden database.

I am using Brave.
