    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support. Vaultwarden is a lightweight, open-source Bitwarden-compatible server - run your own password manager without per-user SaaS fees. This Lynxroute build is security baked in: HTTPS with self-signed cert at first boot, unique admin token generated per instance, localhost-only database access, and CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. Compatible with all official Bitwarden clients - desktop, mobile, browser extensions. AGPL-3.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.

    WHAT IS VAULTWARDEN

    Vaultwarden is a lightweight self-hosted password manager server written in Rust - an unofficial community reimplementation of the Bitwarden client API. It supports the full Bitwarden self-hosted feature set (vault items, secure notes, attachments, TOTP, FIDO2/U2F, organisations, collections, sends, emergency access, password breach checks) without requiring the full official server stack of MSSQL, Identity Server and multiple .NET microservices. The single Rust binary plus a bundled web vault (Bitwarden's GPL-3.0 web client) serves all official Bitwarden desktop, mobile and browser-extension clients on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Persists vault data and metadata in SQLite by default (PostgreSQL and MySQL optional). AGPL-3.0 license - practical choice for small and medium teams that want a self-hosted vault without the operational footprint of the full Bitwarden server.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • HTTPS enabled at first boot with a self-signed certificate

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run this password server. The five options are t3.micro, t3.small, t3.medium, t3.large, and m6i.large. They differ by compute and memory capacity, not by software features. Each instance ships with the same hardened image, so your choice is about matching instance size to your workload and user load. Billing is hourly usage, so your cost scales with how long each instance runs. All fees are charged through AWS Marketplace.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Each name maps to an EC2 instance size with set virtual CPU and memory. The t3 sizes (micro, small, medium, large) scale up compute and memory in steps. The m6i.large uses a different processor family tuned for steady workloads. Pick the size that matches your user count and traffic.
    Software charges meter running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Note that stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage costs for the attached disk. Your cost scales with how long each instance actually runs.
    Every instance ships on the same hardened Ubuntu base with CIS Level 1 hardening, a CVE scan, firewall, and a bundled software bill of materials and conformance report. Unique credentials are generated at first boot. Expert support carries a 24-hour response target. Instance size does not change these included features.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Version release notes

    Vaultwarden 1.37.5

Ships Ubuntu brotli 1.1.0-2ubuntu0.1 (USN-8956-1). Every earlier image of this product carries the vulnerable library; replace running instances or run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libbrotli1 brotli python3-brotli

    • Security: fixes GHSA-x9cq-f669-vrr4 (website icons) and GHSA-9pjj-f9g5-3x4c (emergency access)
    • Bundled web vault updated to 2026.10.1; invalid configuration values now stop startup with an error
    • Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base, picking up every operating-system security update published since the previous build

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.small recommended)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 80 and TCP 443 from 0.0.0.0/0
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/vaultwarden-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP> - accept the self-signed certificate warning
    6. Register your first account at https://<PUBLIC_IP>/#/register
    7. For production: sudo certbot --nginx -d your.domain.com

    Credentials and admin token are saved to /root/vaultwarden-credentials.txt at first boot. For trusted HTTPS, replace the self-signed certificate with Let's Encrypt using Certbot (pre-installed). Configure Bitwarden clients to use https://<PUBLIC_IP> as the server URL.
