h1. Setting Up Bitwarden Admin Portal
1. Create the necessary directory:
Open a terminal on your server and execute:
sudo mkdir /opt/bitwarden_data/env
2. Create and edit the `global.override.env` file:
Use the following command to open the file for editing:
nano /opt/bitwarden_data/env/global.override.env
Add the following line to the file:
adminSettings__admins=john@example.com,bill@gmail.com,tom@example.com
Save the file and exit the text editor.
3. Generate an Admin Token:
Generate a random Admin Token using the following command:
openssl rand -base64 40
Copy the generated token for later use.
4. Edit the Docker Compose configuration:
Open the `docker-compose.yml` file in a text editor:
nano /opt/bitwarden/docker-compose.yml
5. Configure the Admin Token:
In the `bitwarden` service section, add the `ADMIN_TOKEN` environment variable and paste the previously generated token as the value:
services:
....
<pre>
# ... other environment variables ...
- ADMIN_TOKEN=pasteGeneratedTokenHere # Add this line for Admin Token
volumes:
- /opt/bitwarden_data:/data
- /opt/bitwarden_data/env/global.override.env:/bwdata/env/global.override.env # Add this line for Admin Panle
# Other configuration options for the Bitwarden service
</pre>
Save the file and exit the text editor.
6. Restart Containers:
Apply the changes by restarting the containers:
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
7. Access the Admin Portal:
Open a web browser and go to your Bitwarden instance's URL followed by `/admin`. For example, `https://bitwarden.eximple.com/admin`.
Use the previously generated `ADMIN_TOKEN` to log in to the Admin Portal.
By following these steps, you will successfully enable and configure the Bitwarden Admin Portal using the provided Admin Token.
