When updating from a older version 24 to 25 the update process seems to be broken, ./bitwarden.sh won’t pull the latest version so had to download the latest version of ./bitwarden.sh.
When updating from version 24 to 25, this server is not public facing but updating due to Bitwarden App is broken, Updating to 2025.8.2 causes a 502 Gateway Error, all configs are still the same. This has happened before and I had to spend a few hours rebuilding the vault inside bitwarden, can someone tell what I am missing ? updating in the past has been nothing but hassle so the easiest way I found is to backup the vault, nuke the whole VM and start again from scratch but this is hassle.
Any ideas ? when looking at docker ps in CLI it keeps complaining about Package web · GitHub “/entrypoint.sh” About a minute ago Restarting (1) 16 seconds ago bitwarden-web
The Server has the latest updates, it’s just updating Bitwarden is causing me issues but bitwarden-web keeps crashing and won’t stay running.
One tip I would like to say is that I wish you would release a non docker version of Bitwarden because Dockers are nothing a pain. Hate dockers so much.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, Now I see the problem. The Server is running Docker, so switching to Github Contrainer should fix the problem.

Done a fresh install using the Github version, same problem. Bitwarden Web gets stuck on Restarting, 5752f2957207 Package web · GitHub “/entrypoint.sh” About a minute ago Restarting (1) 11 seconds ago
There is clearly something with Version 2025.8.2 as this is on a Server with a fresh install, Issue does not happen on Version 2025.3.0. I think this version 2025.8.2 needs to be pulled as there is something wrong with it.
Logs show a error relating to,
chown: unknown user/group bitwarden:bitwarden chown: unknown user/group bitwarden:bitwarden chown: unknown user/group bitwarden:bitwarden chown: unknown user/group bitwarden:bitwarden error: failed switching to “bitwarden:bitwarden”: unable to find user bitwarden: no matching entries in passwd file

Update,
Decided to try Version 2025.8.1 and on a fresh install I can confirm that this version works fine after 2025.8.1 i.e version 2025.8.2 is where the problem relies.
Installing Bitwarden Version 2025.8.2 changes the permission to nouser:nobody which is causing the problem, 2025.8.1 keeps the permissions of bwdata to bitwarden:bitwarden user, in the meantime i’ll run version 2025.8.1 until this problem is resolved.
Regards
