Password Vault
Bitwarden, hosted by you
Speaks the Bitwarden protocol, so the official mobile apps and browser extensions work against it unchanged — while the vault itself lives here. SQLite backed, so it is one directory to back up.

passwordsInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install passwordsWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Vaultwarden | :8222 | Create your account on the first visit, then turn signups off. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- This app CANNOT be used over http://<ip>:8222 — the vault encrypts in the browser via crypto.subtle, which browsers only expose over HTTPS or on localhost. Put it behind Proxy Manager with a certificate, or reach it through an SSH tunnel to localhost
- Register your account, then set Allow new signups to false in Settings — otherwise anyone who reaches the page can create one
- The official mobile apps refuse a self-signed certificate. For phone use this needs a real hostname with real TLS, not an IP
- This is the one app where a tested restore matters more than a backup — the config directory IS the vault
