Ubuntu Configuration

• Run the script to install all system dependencies and requirements

cd lazywarden/scripts
chmod +x setup-ubuntu-env.sh
./setup-ubuntu-env.sh

• Run this script to automatically install Docker & Docker-Compose:

chmod +x docker-ubuntu.sh
./docker-ubuntu.sh

• First, ensure you are in the root directory of the project lazywarden/:

cd .. 
source venv/bin/activate

• Now Install Bitwarden CLI using the bitwarden-cli-install.py script, which will install all CLI dependencies:

python3 scripts/bitwarden-cli-install.py

• Change the system timezone using the following command. Replace Region/City with the desired timezone (e.g., America/New_York):

timedatectl set-timezone Region/City

• For example, to set the timezone to America/New_York, you would run:

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

• Run the Lazywarden program. Navigate to the app/ folder and execute main.py:

cd app
python3 main.py

• In Ubuntu, if you encounter an error when running main.py, it may be related to missing or outdated libraries. To fix this, I recommend running the following command to install all the necessary dependencies:

 pip install -r requirements.txt

---

Debian Configuration

• Run the script to install all system dependencies and requirements:

cd lazywarden/scripts
chmod +x setup-debian-env.sh
./setup-debian-env.sh

./docker-debian.sh

• First, ensure you are in the root directory of the project lazywarden/:

cd .. 
source venv/bin/activate

• Install Bitwarden CLI using the bitwarden-cli-install.py script, which will install all CLI dependencies:

python3 scripts/bitwarden-cli-install.py

Docker Compose

The Docker container will run the main.py script every 24 hours to back up Bitwarden and upload it to the configured cloud services. Notifications will be sent to the specified services in case of success or failure. You can modify the backup frequency according to your needs, such as monthly, daily, or hourly.

services:
  lazywarden:
    container_name: lazywarden
    hostname: lazywarden
    image: querylab/lazywarden:latest
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      UNLOCK_VAULT: "true"
    volumes:
      - /root/lazywarden/config:/root/lazywarden/config
      - /root/lazywarden/backup-drive:/root/lazywarden/backup-drive/
      - /root/lazywarden/.env:/app/.env
    restart: unless-stopped

Run Docker Compose

• Run the Docker container

docker compose up -d

Dockerfile

• The Dockerfile sets up the environment, installs dependencies, and copies necessary files into the container.

docker-compose.yml

• The docker-compose.yml file defines the lazywarden service and sets up environment variables and volumes for persistent storage.

Security Recommendation: Run in Local Environment

• For security, run this project only in a local environment within your personal network. This significantly reduces the risk of exposure to external attacks, ensuring that sensitive data and credentials remain protected within a controlled environment.

📢 Warning

Important Note

• Large attachments in your Bitwarden account (e.g., MP4 videos, MP3 files, high-resolution photos) may cause the backup process to take longer. Uploading these larger backups to cloud services will also be slower. Local storage and importing data are much faster in comparison.
• A high number of attachments can significantly extend the total backup time. Upload errors may occur when sending files to Dropbox, Google Drive, pCloud, MEGA, Seafile, Nextcloud, Storj, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, or Filebase. If an error occurs, retrying the backup often resolves the issue.
• Configuring the Bitwarden Secret Manager is required for the program to function correctly. Even if you don't have an account, you must set a random variable to ensure proper operation.
• This program is compatible with both self-hosted Bitwarden and Vaultwarden instances.
• Import functionality for Vaultwarden and self-hosted Bitwarden is not yet implemented in the Bitwarden API.
• CalDAV calendar integration has only been tested with the following providers: Baikal, Fruux, Memotoo, Posteo, and SOGo.
• Rotate the secrets stored in Bitwarden Secret Manager regularly for enhanced security.
• If you switch Bitwarden Accounts, make sure to run the bw logout command before logging into a new account.
• I run the program using the root user.

Motivations

• I created Lazywarden to Automate Bitwarden Backups without manual effort or exposing sensitive data. After struggling with complex tools, I leveraged Bitwarden Secret Manager to securely manage secrets. Lazywarden automates backups and uploads them to multiple cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, pCloud, MEGA, Seafile, Nextcloud, Filebase, Storj, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2), and integrates with Telegram, Discord, Ntfy, Slack, Todoist, Vikunja, and CalDAV for notifications and tracking. Its standout feature is the ability to restore encrypted backups back into Bitwarden, making backup management simple, secure, and efficient.
