Minimum Hardware Requirements
Ensure that the machine you wish to install Bitwarden on has the following:
- At lease 2 GB of RAM
- At least 10 GB Disk Space
- 1 CPU Core or more
- FQDN resolving to the machines IP e.g (bitwarden.example.com)
Preconfigure the Machine
Before performing the install I personally like to remove any packages I don't use and disable SELinux.
Update all packages:
yum update -y
Remove firewalld:
yum remove firewalld -y
Flush iptables:
iptables -F
Disable SELinux:
setenforce 0
Disabled SELinux inside the startup config:
nano /etc/selinux/config
Before Edit:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
After Edit:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Install some packages we might need:
yum install curl mlocate wget -y
Reboot to apply every change:
reboot

- Go to the following URL: https://bitwarden.com/host/
