Why can't I access my vaultwarden webpage?
reddit / selfhosted

I have my own domain with a let's encrypt SSL certificate that's valid
until Jan 2024. My vault syncs on all my devices through the
app/extension no problem. My gateway is configured for my domain, I
can resolve the bitwarden url to my internal ip address, and I can
trace route it. Yet still when I try to connect to the webportal
https://bitwarden.example.domain the connection times out
(cloudflare). I only have it exposed internally and am inside my
network, what am I missing here? Obviously if I'm getting a timed out
message from cloudflare it's not routing internally, but DNS and trace
route all say it should be. Any ideas?

/r/Cloudflare

if you want to access the site via https you need to forward port 443.

I've had similar issues with other sites via Cloudflare.
 Are your sub domains proxied Through Cloudflare?
If so its worth checking to what ssl/tls is set to. I've set it to
flexible for resting or full if behind another proxy.

Then is your vault accessable behind the proxy/ docker? So is it
working for you while accessing it directly,?

Can you access it using the IP and Port within the LAN or on that
machine?

Yep over HTTP only though of course, which won't allow for login.

but this is internal only, do you mean expose 443 on the container
side?

I'm only using cloudflare for the DNS challenge for Let's Encrypt.

The vault is accessible behind the proxy using the ip address and port
but only for http

Ok. Was this ever working?

You should use a reverse proxy like nginx to accept https connections
and then forward them to the vaultwarden instance on port 80

You called it!!! I for some reason had an old cloudflare proxy that
was not using the right public IP address anymore. Problem is fixed
now, thanks!

Yep I am doing that, turned out I had an old proxy record in
cloudflare that was incorrect. Thanks for the input!
