Then:

git clone https://github.com/nisenbeck/vaultwarden-debian.git
cd vaultwarden-debian
./build.sh -r <version> # target vaultwarden version, example 1.19.0

The build.sh script will build vaultwarden for the same Debian version which targets vaultwarden. That means, to build vaultwarden v1.19.0, make sure to checkout tag v1.19.0 of this project.

To compile for a different Debian version, specify the release name (e.g. buster, bullseye, bookworm) using the -o option. You can compile for amd64 or arm64 architecture using the -a option.

./build.sh -o bullseye

Post installation

The packaged systemd unit is disabled, you need to configure vaultwarden through its EnvFile: /etc/vaultwarden/config.env

You will also probably want to setup a reverse proxy. See webserver for examples.
