In one I assigned other ports to Bitwarden and let my WordPress app use the default ports, but this prevented Bitwarden’s web browser extensions from working properly. I tried many ways to get both apps running at the same time. I needed some other solution to get both these apps up and running on my server in a manner consistent with my goals. As I explained in Part 1 though, I wanted to use standard URLs for accessing my WordPress app rather than having to specify a port in the URL. That’s not hard to do but required that I access the WordPress app on ports other than port 80 or 443, as Bitwarden uses them by default. The problem came when I tried to host a WordPress app on the same server as well. That setup was straight forward following Bitwarden’s on-premises hosting installation guide. When I first set up my Ubuntu server my main objective was to have it host a local Bitwarden password manager for something unrelated to website development. If you struggle in this area and think Bitwarden might help, continue on. I’ve found it very handy having a password manager incorporated into my development environment to easily serve up passwords to the various sites involved in managing my site. First up though I want to cover adding a password manager, specifically Bitwarden, to our server.

Part 9b – Hosting Bitwarden behind a reverse proxy serverĪs I discussed in Part 8, our local WordPress app is largely complete barring some performance, security and other enhancements that I’ll get to in future articles.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much to skip, but if you’d like to just get to the Bitwarden installation you can skip ahead to Bitwarden Installation.

This is the first of two posts in Part 9 discussing adding a Bitwarden password manager to the same server hosting our simple WordPress app.
