# A mkosi-template for Vaultwarden This is a mkosi-template for [Vaultwarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden). In order to set this up you need Mkosi >=5. To build this, run `sudo mkosi`. This will create a new container in `/var/lib/machines` called `vaultwarden`. Next you should symlink the `.nspawn`-config to `/etc/systemd/nspawn` using `sudo ln -s /var/lib/machines/vaultwarden.nspawn /etc/systemd/nspawn/`. After that you need to create the folders we mount into the image. This is `/etc/vaultwarden` and `/var/local/vaultwarden`. These should be owned by root, and have `700` set as permissions. Then you need to copy `etc/vaultwarden/vaultwarden.env` to `/etc/vaultwarden/`, and set all your variables. You also need to create a database (using PostgreSQL). Lastly you need to set up a web-proxy - see the [vaultwarden wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki) for [examples](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Proxy-examples). Now all you need to do is to run it - `machinectl start vaultwarden`. You can drop into the container to troubleshoot using `machinectl shell vaultwarden`, and you can view logs using `journalctl -M vaultwarden` from the host, or `journalctl -u vaultwarden` from inside the container.
