    Not the one who wrote initially, but i have the same setup (mostly).
    I went with a self signed certificate. So the server is running with a certificate i have signed with my own certification authority certificate (ca-cert) .
    That means I have to install the ca-cert on all devices to get vaultwarden to accept it.

    The alternative is a let’s encrypt cerrtificate, which are free, but you need to open port 80 (and another one if I remember correctly) for it to work (at least every 3 months)

      If you own a domain name you can use the DNS-01 challenge instead of hosting a web server to serve the challenge response.

      With DNS-01 it will add a TXT record to your DNS zones and check if the record exists to verify that you own the domain and then issue the certificate.

      Depending on which tool you use, they usually support DuckDNS and some other free DDNS providers. If you have your domain on a registrar, chances are that it’s also supported.

        Yep that would be a good alternative…I don’t have an official domain for it, so I went the self-signed way

        Which enables me to provide tls/https for all my local services. And it was a fun experience to learn
