I will deploy a self hosted vaultwarden password manager on your vps
Infrastructure and Server Deployment Engineer
About this Gig
I will deploy a fully configured, security-hardened Vaultwarden instance on your VPS.
Vaultwarden is a lightweight, self-hosted password manager fully compatible with all official Bitwarden apps (desktop, mobile, browser extensions). Your passwords stay on your server no third-party cloud, no per-seat fees, no vendor lock-in.
What's included:
- SSH hardening (key-only auth, non-standard port, root login disabled)
- Docker containerization
- Nginx reverse proxy (your app is never directly exposed)
- Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
- UFW firewall (deny-all default, only required ports open)
- Signups disabled after your account is created
- Admin panel secured
- Daily automated backups with 7-day retention and verification
- Full handoff documentation with login details and usage guide
What you need before I begin:
- A fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, or similar)
- A domain or subdomain pointed to your VPS IP
- My SSH public key added to your server (provided after purchase)
This keeps your credentials private I never need your root password. You add my key, I deploy, and access is removed after handoff.

FAQ
What VPS do I need?
Any VPS running Ubuntu 24.04 with at least 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM. I recommend Hetzner ($5/month) or DigitalOcean ($6/month). If you need help choosing, message me before ordering.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. I can walk you through purchasing a VPS, setting up a domain, and adding my SSH key. Just message me and I'll guide you step by step.
Is Vaultwarden compatible with Bitwarden apps?
Yes. All official Bitwarden apps work with Vaultwarden — iOS, Android, browser extensions, and desktop apps.
What happens after deployment?
You receive a handoff document with your login URL, admin credentials, and a usage guide. The server is fully yours.
What if something breaks later?
I offer optional monthly managed care that covers security updates, container maintenance, and priority support. Ask me for details after delivery.
Can I use my existing VPS?
I recommend a fresh VPS for security isolation, but message me to discuss your setup.
