Vaultwarden

Lightweight self-hosted Bitwarden server

Open SourceFree TierAdded Jan 1, 2018

About

Vaultwarden is an unofficial, lightweight implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust. It's compatible with all official Bitwarden clients but uses a fraction of the resources — can run on a Raspberry Pi. Perfect for self-hosters who want Bitwarden's excellent apps but don't need the full official server infrastructure.
