Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/417

I reinstalled my bitwarden_rs and now I can't seem to get it to recognize the web-vault any longer.
I have read https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/issues/373 and it's a similar issue except I can't figure out why I keep getting the message [ERROR] Web vault is not found. To install it, please follow the steps in https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Building-binary#install-the-web-vault

I downloaded the compiled version from your releases page (version 2.8.0d) and unzipped into a newly created web-vault directory at the root of the server (/root/web-vault). I then tried the command line to enable that web-vault on docker run -v /root/web-vault:/web-vault (as I had done before without problems) and I still get the error message.
I then tried enabling it via -e WEB_VAULT_FOLDER=/root/web-vault and I'm getting the same error.

Probably a lack of sleep but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this second time around. It seems that it won't recognize my web-vault folder no matter where I put it or how I invoke it.

Any clues?

Thanks

Are you building your docker image? The provided image comes with Vault built in.

Anyways looking at your docker run command, it seems like you need to point the WEB_VAULT_FOLDER to /web-vault as that's where you mount it inside the container.

Thanks @mprasil

Yes I was building my own docker image which is where the problem was.
