How to install the web-vault locally

If you're using docker image, you can just update VAULT_VERSION variable in Dockerfile and rebuild the image.

Install node.js and either yarn or npm (usually included with node)

Clone the web-vault outside the project:

git clone https://github.com/bitwarden/web.git web-vault

Modify web-vault/settings.Production.json to look like this:

{
  "appSettings": {
    "apiUri": "/api",
    "identityUri": "/identity",
    "iconsUri": "/icons",
    "stripeKey": "",
    "braintreeKey": ""
  }
}

Then, run the following from the web-vault dir:

# With yarn (recommended)
yarn
yarn gulp dist:selfHosted

# With npm
npm install
npx gulp dist:selfHosted

Finally copy the contents of the web-vault/dist folder into the bitwarden_rs/web-vault folder.

How to recreate database schemas

Install diesel-cli with cargo:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite-bundled # Or use only sqlite to use the system version

Make sure that the correct path to the database is in the .env file.

If you want to modify the schemas, create a new migration with:

diesel migration generate <name>

Modify the *.sql files, making sure that any changes are reverted in the down.sql file.

Apply the migrations and save the generated schemas as follows:

diesel migration redo
diesel print-schema > src/db/schema.rs
