We will cover several installation methods to cater to different preferences, including using official repositories, Docker, and Snap packages.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure you have the following:

  1. Linux-based Operating System: This guide applies to most popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and CentOS.
  2. Root or Sudo Privileges: You’ll need administrative privileges to install software and make system changes.
  3. Internet Connection: The installation process requires downloading files from the internet.

Now that we’ve covered the prerequisites, let’s get started.

Method 1: Installing Bitwarden Using Snap

Snap is a package management system that allows easy installation of software on Linux. Snap packages are precompiled, so they are easy to install and run on any Linux distribution that supports Snap. Let's begin with this method for installing Bitwarden.

Step 1: Install Snap (if not already installed)

First, check whether Snap is already installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:

bash
snap --version

If Snap is not installed, you can install it with the following commands:

On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

bash
sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd

On Fedora:

bash
sudo dnf install snapd

On CentOS/RHEL:

bash
sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum install snapd

Once installed, enable Snap by running:

bash
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

Step 2: Install Bitwarden

After ensuring that Snap is installed and running, you can proceed with installing Bitwarden. Run the following command to install the official Bitwarden Snap package:

bash
sudo snap install bitwarden

The installation will proceed, and once it’s complete, you can launch Bitwarden by searching for it in your application menu or by typing:

bash
bitwarden

Step 3: Log In or Create an Account

Once Bitwarden is launched, you’ll be prompted to either log in with an existing account or create a new one. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your password manager.

Method 2: Installing Bitwarden via Docker

For users who prefer running Bitwarden on a containerized system, Docker provides an excellent method for installing Bitwarden. Docker simplifies installation and keeps the software isolated from the rest of your system, making it easy to manage and update.

Step 1: Install Docker

If you don’t already have Docker installed, you can easily install it on most Linux distributions. To install Docker, run the following commands:

On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

bash
sudo apt update sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" sudo apt update sudo apt install docker-ce

On Fedora:

bash
sudo dnf install docker-ce

On CentOS/RHEL:

bash
sudo yum install docker-ce

After installation, start and enable Docker:

bash
sudo systemctl start docker sudo systemctl enable docker

Verify Docker installation:

bash
docker --version

Step 2: Pull Bitwarden Docker Image

Next, pull the Bitwarden image from Docker Hub by running:

bash
docker pull bitwardenrs/server

This will download the latest Bitwarden server image to your system.

Step 3: Run the Bitwarden Server

Now, you can start the Bitwarden server using Docker. Run the following command to start it:

bash
docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /bw-data/:/data/ --name bitwarden bitwardenrs/server

This will start Bitwarden on port 80. You can access the web interface by navigating tohttp://localhost in your browser.

Step 4: Set Up Bitwarden

Once Bitwarden is up and running, you can access the web interface, create an account, and start storing your passwords securely.

Method 3: Installing Bitwarden from Official Repositories (Ubuntu/Debian)

If you prefer to install Bitwarden from official Linux repositories, you can follow the steps below to install it manually.

Step 1: Add the Bitwarden Repository

Bitwarden’s repository is available on GitHub, but to install it via APT (on Ubuntu/Debian), you’ll need to first download and install the required dependencies. Start by adding the Bitwarden repository:

bash
curl -sSL https://apt.bitwarden.com/bitwarden.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/bitwarden.asc echo "deb https://apt.bitwarden.com/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitwarden.list

Step 2: Update the Package List

Next, update your system’s package list:

bash
sudo apt update

Step 3: Install Bitwarden

Now, you can install Bitwarden using the following command:

bash
sudo apt install bitwarden

Once the installation is complete, launch Bitwarden from the application menu or by running:

bash
bitwarden

Step 4: Log In or Create an Account

As with the other installation methods, once Bitwarden is running, log in or create a new account to begin using the password manager.

Method 4: Installing Bitwarden from the Official Website

If you prefer to download the latest release directly from Bitwarden’s official website, you can install Bitwarden by downloading the Linux client.

Step 1: Download the Bitwarden Linux Client

Go to the Bitwarden Downloads Page and select the Linux version. Download the.tar.gz package.

Step 2: Extract the Archive

Replacex.x.x with the actual version number.

Step 3: Run the Application

bash
cd bitwarden-linux-x.x.x ./bitwarden

This will launch Bitwarden, and you can log in or create an account.

Troubleshooting Installation Issues

While installing Bitwarden on Linux is generally smooth, you might encounter issues depending on your specific system configuration. Here are a few common troubleshooting steps:

  1. Snap-related Issues: If you encounter problems with Snap, ensure Snapd is properly installed and running.
  2. Docker Issues: If Docker fails to start, ensure that your user has been added to the Docker group with the following command:
    bash
    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
