''[https://bitwarden.com/help/install-on-premise-linux/#install-docker-and-docker-compose Bitwarden’s installation instructions]'' are the opposite of Onlyoffice’s. They actually work, and their documentation is amazing. You can find them ''[https://bitwarden.com/help/install-on-premise-linux/#install-docker-and-docker-compose here]''.

==== 3.6 Installation Configuration Notes ====

During installation, you’ll need to provide:

* '''Domain Name''': Use <code>bitwarden.home.arpa</code>
* '''SSL Certificate''': Choose ‘n’ for Let’s Encrypt if using a self-signed certificate
** Bitwarden auto-generates a self-signed certificate for you. Isn’t Bitwarden nice?
* '''Installation Credentials''': Get these from [https://bitwarden.com/host/ bitwarden.com/host]

'''Important''': Your installation ID and key will look similar to:

<pre>462b197d-14f0-410e-a2c6-b21200fd09f2

==== 3.7 Port Configuration ====

If running multiple services (like mailcow), you’ll need to modify the ports in <code>/opt/bitwarden/bwdata/config.yml</code>:

<pre>http_port: 81    # Changed from 80
https_port: 444  # Changed from 443</pre>
