📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Vaultwarden

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

update

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I updated vaultwarden with this weird message but everything worked fine.

✔️ Update available: vaultwarden not installed → 1.35.2

After trying to update the web-vault vaultwarden is broken. The update exits with an error In /opt/vaultwarden the folder structure is messed up. Before there were three folders only: bin, data and web-vault. Afterwards it's chaotic. It seems like web-vault gets deployed into the wrong folder.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

update web-vault

On The Website it states Vaultwarden Web Version 2025.1.1.

I only installed vaultwarden last summer and updated somewhat regularly.

This is from the update script. It removes the web-vault folder first and then tries to chown. This does not make any sense.

      msg_info "Updating Web-Vault to $WVRELEASE"
      rm -rf /opt/vaultwarden/web-vault
      chown -R root:root /opt/vaultwarden/web-vault/
      msg_ok "Updated Web-Vault to ${WVRELEASE}"

it still does not work.

the script removes /opt/vaultwarden/web-vault but never recreates it. Shoundn't it deploy the web-vault into /opt/vaultwarden/web-vault?

My update for Vaultwarden Core has been running for 30 minutes now, and it's still not finished. I also received a message saying that no installation was found.

Normally, the Core update takes less than 5 minutes.

The update process is complete, but it took a very long time. However, the comparison between the old and new installations looks good. The update of the web interface also worked.
