What is Bitwarden? Bitwarden is a free/freemium open-source password management service that stores sensitive information such as website credentials in an encrypted vault. The platform offers a variety of client applications including a web interface, desktop applications, browser extensions, mobile apps, and a command-line interface. Bitwarden offers a free cloud-hosted service as well as the ability to self-host. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwarden   Installing Docker    01. Log into the Linux based device    02. Run the following commands in the terminal          # install prerequisites          sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y          # add docker gpg key          curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add -          # add docker software repository          sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable"          # install docker          sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y          # enable and start docker service          sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker          # add the current user to the docker group          sudo usermod -aG docker $USER          # reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect          su - $USER   Running Bitwarden Containers NOTE: In order for Let's Encrypt to verify ownership of the DNS name, the host Docker is running from must be accessible via port 80 (http) and port 443 (https).
