I want to host a Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden if necessary) instance, but it keeps asking for a domain and a SSL certificate. I dont own a domain and dont want to enable port forwarding on my router to expose it to the outside.

Is it possible to host a instance only internally and access it via the IP or a domain set on my local DNS? How about SSL is it possible and/or necessary?

    I am hosting vaultwarden locally (docker) and just don’t use the Webinterface. The Firefox addon and the bitwarden desktop tool work just fine. Also the android app syncs.

      Interesting, for me the apps required to have a valid tls cert.

        That’s strange. It’s working with the IP and port and explicitly removing the s from https im the setup screen. It is sneaky about the s.
