How do I install Vaultwarden?
Pick one of your servers, choose Vaultwarden from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does Vaultwarden need?
Light. Runs comfortably next to other sites on the smallest server.
What happens after install?
The admin panel is at /admin; sign in with the admin token shown after install. Create your first vault account from the main site.
Is Vaultwarden backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Vaultwarden?
You do. Vaultwarden keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Vaultwarden itself is free to self-host.
