Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/992

Hi - I've configured my docker-compose.yml as per below:-

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3'

services:
 bitwarden:
  image: bitwardenrs/server
  restart: always
  volumes:
      - /etc/bitwardenrs/bw-data:/data
  environment:
    LOG_FILE: /data/bitwardenrs.log
    LOG_LEVEL: debug
    INVITATIONS_ALLOWED: "true"
    SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: "true"
    SIGNUPS_VERIFY: "true"
    SHOW_PASSWORD_HINT: "true"
    DOMAIN: https://vault.mydomain.com
    ADMIN_TOKEN: KedoCWHw8SLgq8X7p1nNz7lFqex6UwMxi7R6pvOfmAOaxzCalnaJjWjMOz0F1b1p
    SMTP_HOST: someip
    SMTP_FROM: vault.mydomain.com
    SMTP_PORT: 25
    SMTP_SSL: "false"
  ports:
    - 443:80

However, after running docker-compose up -d, Many of my settings are ignored. I am able to create an account without email verification, the admin page is asking me to create a token still etc.

The log file is generated, so that's a start I guess!

Is there some syntax issue I'm not seeing here?

I also tried specifying an .env file and configuring my settings there instead, however it never seems to be read.

Like so ENV_FILE: /etc/bitwardenrs/bw-data/bitwardenrs.env

Any help greatly appreciated!

Ahh, many thanks @jjlin - Which category would I specify ENV_FILE?

Thanks - I've tried the following and the settings are still not being read

`# docker-compose.yml
version: '3'

services:
bitwarden:
image: bitwardenrs/server
restart: always
volumes:
- /etc/bitwardenrs/bw-data:/data
env_file:
- /etc/bitwardenrs/bw-data/bitwardenrs.env
ports:
- 443:80
`
I'm totally confused, the documentation suggests this should work...

Your env file might be in the wrong format, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/env-file/

Did you change settings through the admin panel? Please know that environment variables get overwritten by settings in config.json.

I've scrapped using docker-compose.yml and instead have opted to install the Debian package here https://github.com/greizgh/bitwarden_rs-debian.

I have installed the package and created the systemd service file. Bitwarden_rs starts successfully, however I don't see it listening on ports 80 or 443 when checking netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

The Web UI subsequently isn't accessible. Where do I configure the ports in my .env file?

Many thanks

Nevermind! - All sorted, reconfigured my HAProxy backend to listen on port 8000.
