2. Admin Page

Installation Source: Github

On this page we explain how you can setup your Vaultwarden Admin Page s.t you can control your instance, who can and cannot sign up for you instance and many other features. 

1. SSH into your docker vm and use the following command to generate an argon hash

docker run --rm -it vaultwarden/server /vaultwarden hash

2. Then the output should be like this

Generate an Argon2id PHC string using the 'bitwarden' preset:

Password: 

3. Then provide it with the strong password that you can create with

openssl rand -base64 32

4. After you have confirmed the password you should obtain a argon hash that looks like this

'$argon2id$v=19$m=65540,t=3,p=4$Qh4dxVxAdfgjoerkfsdfjksldjfoiwef+sdfkojflksjdfoiwejfksjdofijwioejfiosjdoifjwoiefjiosf'

5. Then this is the token that you fill in for your ADMIN_TOKEN

6. Perfect! Now you can start logging in to the Admin page with your password you created at step 3 and make sure to save this password also in your Bitwarden account since that is the one you need to log in. 

7. You can find your admin page at https://vw.example.org/admin
