Synology Bitwarden_rs Websocket Setup

Below steps allow you to setup Websocket support for your Bitwarden_rs installation running on Synology Diskstation. You can do all steps using the GUI so there is no SSH Access needed.

Prerequisites

• Working HTTPS Reverse proxy Setup (Control Panel -> Application Portal -> Reverse Proxy)
• Set Enviourment Variable WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true in your Bitwarden container and expose the container port 3012 to a local port, in my case 5556.

Upload script

1. Download enable_ws.sh
2. Upload the script "enable_ws.sh" onto your Diskstation. I would recommand putting it in your Bitwarden directory. In my case /volume1/docker/bitwarden

Create scheduled Task

Control Panel -> Task Scheduler -> Create -> Scheduled Task -> User-defined Script

Make sure to amend the command according to your setup.

• /volume1/docker/bitwarden/enable_ws.sh = Full path to previously uploaded script
• vault.example.com = Hostname of your Bitwarden_rs as configured in the Reverse Proxy
• 5555 = Exposed ROCKET_PORT by Docker (The same as in your Reverse Proxy setup)
• 5556 = Exposed WEBSOCKET_PORT by Docker

Run Command (My example):

bash /volume1/docker/bitwarden/enable_ws.sh vault.example.com 5555 5556

  General Settings
      Task -> Enable BW WS
      User -> root
      Enabled -> Tick
  Schedule
      Run on the following days -> Daily
      Frequency -> Every hour
  Task Settings:
      (Optional) Enable Notifications
      Run Command: <Paste Command Crafted Above> 

Save and run the new task by selecting Run. Login into your Webvault and confirm in your web browsers developer console that the connection to wss:// succeded.

Let's say my DSM reverse proxy is reachable under https://vaultwarden.mydomain.com:443 (just standard https port) and I am hosting another application on a raspberry pi https://application2.mydomain.com:443. On my Router I want to set my port forwarding for application2 to the raspberry pi, but it uses the same port as vaultwarden. I suppose you could reverse proxy that also over the NAS but in my head it would be nicer to have the raspberry pi function on his own without having to rely on the NAS.

That's all the point to use a reverse proxy.
All your connexion are forwarded to the reverse proxy, and only it redirect to the right machin:port.
In my opinion, your installation is too complex, and doesn't give any security advantages...

If you're not using a 4G internet connexion for your home internet, you should only use the NAS, or the r-pi as a reverse-proxy.
You forward 443, and eventually 80 port to it, and let it managed the rest.
For the static IP, you can set up a dynDNS (I have a DynHost with OVH on my router), in my opininon, static IP isn't the thing you have to worry about.
For the second point "ip is not shared with other machines", I don't understand the logic in that...
And the third, about DMZ ? What, why ? I don't understand too... You have a router with a firewall, right ?

Thank you MilesTEG1, I also believe that my previous setup was just based on some of my personal misconceptions as I am still learning.
I will update my setup with your suggestions in mind!

@RonV42 @ClusterDuckster @ all_others

I'm wondering if it could be possible to add with the script a restriction IP sources for the https://vaut.domain.tld/admin page ?
My idea is to restrict this page to only LAN ips like 192.168.0.0/24 and only VPN IP (VPN Server on DSM or SRM) like 192.168.10.0/24.
But I don't know if it possible, and how to do it.
Some of you do have an idea ?

Thanks in advance :)

Issue report:
Upgraded to DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1, the script doesn't work.

Issue report: Upgraded to DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1, the script doesn't work.

Witch one ?
Mine (or the translated version by @RonV42), or the one from @ClusterDuckster ?

The original script from @nstanke didn't work since DSM7.

I checked and confirm the script is translated version by @RonV42

I just recollected what I have done in recent days:

1. Upgraded to DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1
2. Enabled IPv6 in DSM, automatic mode, while enabled DHCPv6 stateless on my router.
3. Switched network mode of docker container - AdguardHome from macvlan mode to host mode, and confirm that no port conflicting.

Wish those information could help.

Hello @Autonomous120
I just check on my Bitwarden .app, it seems the websocket works :

Maybe your problem is with IPv6 ?
I don't have my NAS in IPv6...
I have AdGuard Home too, in macvlan.
In AdGH, I've got a rewriting of my vaultwarden url to the LAN IP NAS.

@MilesTEG1
Good news! The script back to work again!
Here is my solution:

1. Enter the DSM control panel.
2. Navigate to Network → General → Advanced Settings
3. Make sure the ‘Enable Multiple Gateways’ unchecked.

👍

Hi All, Thank you for picking this up and the ongoing support and fixes you deliver. As even for myself it’s quite hard to understand what the current working solution looks like I thought it might be worth forking this into a proper repo with a README as an “how-to” guide. Any thoughts?

…

Hello,
I'll may do a fork when I'll have some time 😃

But for now, I had to investigate why my setup doesn't work anymore with the last version (1.25.1) of VaultWarden. I had errors saying that WebSocket connection to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (anonymous) @ WebSocketTransport.js:99 when 1.25.0 works fine...

I had to add some things in the websocket.locations.vaultwarden file.
Here what I have now :

if [ -f $LOC_DIR/websocket.locations.vaultwarden ]; then
  rm $LOC_DIR/websocket.locations.vaultwarden
  part1=1
fi
echo """
location /notifications/hub/negotiate {
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header \"Connection\" \"\";
    
    proxy_set_header Host \$host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP \$remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For \$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto \$scheme;
    proxy_pass http://$IP_NAS:$PORT_ACCES;
}

location /notifications/hub {
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade \$http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection \"upgrade\";

    proxy_set_header Host \$host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP \$remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Forwarded \$remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For \$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto \$scheme;
    proxy_pass http://$IP_NAS:$PORT_CONT;
}

""" >>$LOC_DIR/websocket.locations.vaultwarden

And I had to remove entries for the websocket for the location / (in DSM, remove the two lines in the reverse proxy configuration to have only this :

And now, WebSockets Notifications works again ;)

Thanks @MilesTEG1 I have changed the lines in the shell script to use your new proxy header commands and now it works fine with the later versions of Vaultwarden. I didn't have to change the reverse proxy setting on my Synolgoy so I left that old configuration in place.

I can now be happy it's working for syncing the clients though websockets.

Hey I'm using the latest script posted above and now the sync works fine for me on all devices. But smtp settings for mail sendings has only errors now. could this proxy stuff be the cause for that problem? Because I know the mail feature worked well for me time ago.

Hi,
Script doesn't work for me...
DSM 7.1.1-42962
Docker 20.10.3-1308
Script executes ok, but no change I still get status.Websocket connection failed, "there was an error in the transport".
Anyone has any pointer ?
Thanks

Edit : Solved ! It was my adblocker (adguard) that was at fault ! I now have sync functionnning on my devices, so it's good !
I'm still seing that error in chrome on PC, but as long as my phone is synced it doesn"t matter.
Thanks a lot for the script
