This repository contains deb packages of Vaultwarden, a Bitwarden-compatible API server written in Rust. They can be installed in Debian or Ubuntu.
The files in these packages are extracted from the most recent Docker releases of the upstream Vaultwarden repository. The binary is statically linked, so it should run on many amd64 systems.
See the Vaultwarden repository for much more information.
The repository provides two packages:
vaultwarden, the main executable, from dani-garcia/vaultwarden;vaultwarden-web-vault, the Bitwarden web vault, from dani-garcia/bw_web_builds.
Use apt-get install vaultwarden to install both.
