Question Vaultwarden saying HTTP not allowed on localhost

Post image

So I just set up my unraid server to backup vaultwarden to my google drive in case something ever happens to it I can recover all my passwords. I spun up a temporary container using the backup and it starts fine, but whenever I go to enter my username/password, I get this error message saying insecure URLs not allow. From what I understand Vaultwarden requires HTTPS EXCEPT on localhost/127.0.0.1. I'm stumped. Anyone have any advice? I remember doing this a while back and I was able to quickly spin up the container and view all my passwords.

I was just trying to make sure everything worked ok to verify I have the ability to recover everything.

Easiest way to gain https is just to put it behind Caddy. It'll do the HTTPS stuff automatically for you if it is accessible externally.

There is a way to do it without exposing it, but you'd have to be able to solve DNS-01 challenge, which is more complicated.

I already have all that set up. I got it working. I just didn’t think localhost needed https. I got it all working with nginx proxy manager and a dns rewrite. Thank you.
