 # Vaultwarden
 
-Dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/vaultwarden/server
-Github: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
-Wiki: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki
+## Overview
 
-Reverse Proxy Port: 80
+Vaultwarden is a lightweight, Bitwarden-compatible password manager
+server written in Rust. It works with the official Bitwarden browser
+extensions and mobile apps.
 
-## Usage
+## Project Details
 
-[Disable new users](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Disable-registration-of-new-users).
+-   **Project Repository:** [github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)
+-   **Container Image:** [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/vaultwarden/server)
+-   **Documentation:** [Vaultwarden Wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki)
+-   **Reverse Proxy Port:** `80`
 
-[SMTP](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/SMTP-configuration)
+## Getting Started
 
-To enable the admin page, you need to set an authentication token. This token can be anything, but it's recommended to use a long, randomly generated string of characters, for example running openssl rand -base64 48.
\ No newline at end of file
+1. Copy `sample.env`, set `VAULT_DOMAIN` and a random
+   `VAULT_ADMIN_TOKEN` (`openssl rand -base64 48`)
+2. Start the container: `docker compose up -d`
+3. Open http://localhost:8083/admin, sign in with the admin token, and
+   invite your users (signups are disabled by default)
+
+## Environment Variable Notes
+
+    VAULT_DOMAIN – public base URL; Bitwarden clients require https,
+      so point this at your reverse-proxy domain for real use
+    VAULT_SIGNUPS_ALLOWED – open registration (default false; invite
+      users from the admin page instead)
+    VAULT_ADMIN_TOKEN – token for the /admin page; leave unset to
+      disable the admin page entirely
+    SMTP_* – optional mail settings for invitations and password-hint
+      emails; set all or none
+    VAULT_PORT – host port for the web UI (default 8083)
+
+See the [wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki) for
+the full configuration reference.
+
+## Volume Notes
+
+-   `/data` — SQLite database, attachments, icon cache, and RSA keys;
+    stored at `${VOL_PATH:-/data}/vaultwarden` on the host. Back this
+    up — it is the entire vault.
+
+## Network Notes
+
+Requires proxy network
+
+## Docker Run
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name=vaultwarden \
+  -e DOMAIN=https://vault.example.com \
+  -e SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false \
+  -e ADMIN_TOKEN=changeme-to-a-long-random-string \
+  -p 8083:80 \
+  -v /data/vaultwarden:/data \
+  vaultwarden/server:latest
+```
+
+## Additional Notes / Gotchas
+
+-   This is a `_dev` stack — experimental, not yet production-ready.
+-   Bitwarden clients refuse to connect over plain http (except to
+    localhost) — serve it through the reverse proxy with TLS.
+-   WebSocket notifications are served on the main port since
+    Vaultwarden 1.29; no separate `WEBSOCKET_ENABLED` setting or port
+    3012 proxying is needed anymore.
+-   [Disable registration of new users](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Disable-registration-of-new-users)
+-   [SMTP configuration](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/SMTP-configuration)
