(Note: This is still a work in progress. This project is not associated with the Bitwarden project nor 8bit Solutions LLC.)
A small, self-contained API server written in Ruby and Sinatra to provide a private backend for the open-source Bitwarden apps.
All data is stored in a local SQLite database.
This means you can easily run the server locally and have your data never
leave your device, or run it on your own web server via Rack and some front-end
HTTP server with TLS to support syncing across multiple devices.
Backing up your data is as easy as copying the db/production.sqlite3 file
somewhere.
All user data in the SQLite database is stored in an encrypted format the same way it is in the official Bitwarden backend, where the master password is never known by the server. For details on the format, consult the documentation.
This project also contains independent documentation for Bitwarden's API written as I work on this server, since there doesn't seem to be any documentation available other than the .NET Bitwarden code itself.
Run bundle install at least once.
To run via Rack on port 4567:
env RACK_ENV=production bundle exec rackup -p 4567 config.ru
You'll probably want to run it once with signups enabled, to allow yourself to create an account:
env RACK_ENV=production ALLOW_SIGNUPS=1 bundle exec rackup -p 4567 config.ru
Once the server is running, the Bitwarden apps (such as the Firefox extension)
can be configured to use your own Bitwarden server before login.
For a local Rack instance, you can point it at http://127.0.0.1:4567/.
To run the test suite:
bundle exec rake test
Export everything from 1Password in its "1Password Interchange Format".
It should create a directory with a data.1pif file (which is unencrypted, so
be careful with it).
Once you have created your initial user account through bitwarden-ruby, run
the conversion tool with your account e-mail address:
env RACK_ENV=production bundle exec ruby tools/1password_import.rb -f /path/to/data.1pif -u [email protected]
It will prompt you for the master password you already created, and then convert and import as many items as it can.
This tool operates on the SQLite database directly (not through its REST API) so you can run it offline.
The Bitwarden browser extensions and mobile apps support accounts that require
2FA, by prompting you for the current code after successfully logging in.
To activate Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) on your account after you've
signed up in the previous steps, run the tools/activate_totp.rb program on
the server:
env RACK_ENV=production bundle exec ruby tools/activate_totp.rb -u [email protected]
You'll be shown a data: URL that has a PNG-encoded QR code, which you must
copy and paste into a browser, then scan with your mobile TOTP authenticator
apps (assuming it supports scanning from the camera).
Once scanned, the activation program will ask you to enter the current TOTP
being shown in the app for verification, and then save the TOTP secret to your
account in the SQLite database.
Your security_stamp will be reset, forcing a new login on any devices that
are logged into your account.
Those devices will now prompt for a TOTP code upon future logins.
