### This is a Bitwarden server API implementation written in Rust compatible with [upstream Bitwarden clients](https://bitwarden.com/#download)*, perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.
#### ⚠️**IMPORTANT**⚠️: When using this server, please report any bugs or suggestions to us directly (look at the bottom of this page for ways to get in touch), regardless of whatever clients you are using (mobile, desktop, browser...). DO NOT use the official support channels.
**IMPORTANT**: Some web browsers, like Chrome, disallow the use of Web Crypto APIs in insecure contexts. In this case, you might get an error like `Cannot read property 'importKey'`. To solve this problem, you need to access the web vault from HTTPS.
This can be configured in [bitwarden_rs directly](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Enabling-HTTPS) or using a third-party reverse proxy ([some examples](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Proxy-examples)).
If you have an available domain name, you can get HTTPS certificates with [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/), or you can generate self-signed certificates with utilities like [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert). Some proxies automatically do this step, like Caddy (see examples linked above).
See the [bitwarden_rs wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki) for more information on how to configure and run the bitwarden_rs server.
To ask a question, offer suggestions or new features or to get help configuring or installing the software, please [use the forum](https://bitwardenrs.discourse.group/).
If you spot any bugs or crashes with bitwarden_rs itself, please [create an issue](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/issues/). Make sure there aren't any similar issues open, though!
