## What is vaultwarden?

`vaultwarden` ia a alternative server implementation of the Bitwarden Client API, written in
Rust and compatible with official Bitwarden clients, perfect for self-hosted
deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.

## Docker Compose Example

```yaml
{{% include "/srv/configs/docker_compose/vaultwarden/docker-compose.yaml" %}}
```
