Hi! I am running a vaultwarden-docker and would like to change the folder where the credentials are stored. This is my current docker-compose-file:
version: ‘3.4’
services:
vaultwarden:
image: vaultwarden/server:latest
restart: always
ports:
- '127.0.0.1:8200:80'
volumes:
- ./vaultwarden:/data/
So my credentials are stored in a folder called vaultwarden in the root of the server.
a) How can i change this folder in the stack-file of portainer without loosing the data?
b) Where would the folder be when i would write “vaultwarden” without the “./”? In the /root-folder?
Sorry for the noob-questions but the docker-tutorials i found are much too high for me. ;)
That’s the good thing about containers, that’s super easy. Just stop the container, move your folder to your desired location (e.g. /home/user/vaultwarden), change the path in your compose file (stack) (i.e.: /home/user/vaultwarden:/data/), redeploy the stack and that’s it :)

Just to correct a mistake: - ./vaultwarden:/data/ means that the folder /data/ of the container is in the subfolder vaultwarden inside the folder that contains the docker-compose.yml. it is not located in /. for that you need to remove the leading “.”
If you remove ./ vaultwarden points to a volume named vaultwarden that need to be defined separately:
./vaultwarden = relativ path from the docker-compose folder
/vaultwarden = absolut path /
vaultwarden = a volume called vaultwarden
This is good. there was an OLD vaultwarden-folder in my root-directory and i thought this would be the current, but you are absolutely right: The folder is in the compose-directory!
Do you really think this is a good place?
It’s more like quick and dirty. I generally try to create a volume and save the data outside the compose folder. Default is /var/lib/docker/volumes if I remember correctly.
So my credentials are stored in a folder called vaultwarden in the root of the server.
that’s not true:
./vaultwardenwith the./prefix means thatvaultwardenwill be in the same folder as your docker-compose.yml.It looks as a good position for your setup.
