Learning by doing: How to change the folder in docker compose (vaultwarden)

Hi! I am running a vaultwarden-docker and would like to change the folder where the credentials are stored. This is my current docker-compose-file:

version: ‘3.4’

services:

vaultwarden:


<span style="color:#323232;">image: vaultwarden/server:latest
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">restart: always
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ports:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - '127.0.0.1:8200:80'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">volumes:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - ./vaultwarden:/data/
</span>

So my credentials are stored in a folder called vaultwarden in the root of the server.

a) How can i change this folder in the stack-file of portainer without loosing the data?

b) Where would the folder be when i would write “vaultwarden” without the “./”? In the /root-folder?

Sorry for the noob-questions but the docker-tutorials i found are much too high for me. ;)

Just to correct a mistake: - ./vaultwarden:/data/ means that the folder /data/ of the container is in the subfolder vaultwarden inside the folder that contains the docker-compose.yml. it is not located in /. for that you need to remove the leading “.”

If you remove ./ vaultwarden points to a volume named vaultwarden that need to be defined separately:

./vaultwarden = relativ path from the docker-compose folder

/vaultwarden = absolut path /

vaultwarden = a volume called vaultwarden

moddy OP ,

This is good. there was an OLD vaultwarden-folder in my root-directory and i thought this would be the current, but you are absolutely right: The folder is in the compose-directory!

Do you really think this is a good place?

It’s more like quick and dirty. I generally try to create a volume and save the data outside the compose folder. Default is /var/lib/docker/volumes if I remember correctly.

So my credentials are stored in a folder called vaultwarden in the root of the server.

that’s not true:

./vaultwarden with the ./ prefix means that vaultwarden will be in the same folder as your docker-compose.yml.

It looks as a good position for your setup.

That’s the good thing about containers, that’s super easy. Just stop the container, move your folder to your desired location (e.g. /home/user/vaultwarden), change the path in your compose file (stack) (i.e.: /home/user/vaultwarden:/data/), redeploy the stack and that’s it :)
