Hi,

I am following [Installing Vaultwarden Without Docker –
Bloovis](https://www.bloovis.com/posts/2023-10-06-vaultwarden-without-
docker/) to install Vaultwarden.

Since Alpinx is used, may I know how to create service ?

There is no "/etc/systemd/system/vaultwarden.service"

​

Thanks

Thanks for advice.

Just want to dedicate a LXC container for password manager only.

You have the create a service file.

/etc/systemd/system/vaultwarden.service

after editing the file, use systemctl commands.

$ systemctl daemon-reload # to systemctl read new file that you
created.

$ systemctl enable vaultwarden # enable starting vaultwarden at boot
time.

$ systemctl start vaultwarden # start vaultwarden service.

But “Alpine” no systemd. Therefore I don’t know how to create

You have to write your own boot (init) script.

No offence but you seem to be too unexperienced to tinker arround with
something which will keep your passwords. Either just replace Alpine
with Ubuntu Server/Debian and follow the steps as they are or switch
to Bitwarden.

Thanks for advice.

Could you share your experience to protect your password?

Ive used KeepassXC with Dropbox sync for 5 or 6 years. Recently i
moved to Vaultwarden installed with docker. I access it through
ZeroTier VPN, i have it behind proxy with https.
