Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/1129

Subject of the issue

Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.

Your environment

Bitwarden_rs version: 1.16.3
Install method: docker
Clients used: web/curl/wget
Reverse proxy and version: NA
Version of mysql/postgresql: NA
Other relevant information:

[root@centbox bitwarden]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
[root@centbox bitwarden]# docker --version
Docker version 18.09.7, build 2d0083d
[root@centbox bitwarden]# docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.24.0, build 0aa59064
[root@centbox bitwarden]#

Steps to reproduce

Start/install the application with docker:
docker run -d --name bitwarden -e WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true -e LOG_FILE=/data/bitwarden.log -v /opt/bitwarden/:/data/ -p 32080:80 -p 3012:3012 bitwardenrs/server:latest

Expected behaviour

To be able to load the interface via web browser, or get a html response via wget/curl.

Actual behaviour

docker starts okay:

[root@centbox bitwarden]# docker logs bitwarden

[2020-09-08 19:05:03.446][ws][INFO] Listening for new connections on 0.0.0.0:3012.
[2020-09-08 19:05:03.446][start][INFO] Rocket has launched from http://0.0.0.0:80
[root@centbox bitwarden]#

However trying to connect to the service on the server via IP in browser (http://192.168.2.25:32080/) fails with an "This site can’t be reached. 192.168.2.25 took too long to respond.".

Also accessing via command line directly on the server via wget or curl gets me the connection reset:

[root@centbox bitwarden]# wget http://localhost:32080
--2020-09-08 15:10:48--  http://localhost:32080/
Resolving localhost (localhost)... ::1, 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost (localhost)|::1|:32080... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.
Retrying. ^C
[root@centbox bitwarden]#
[root@centbox bitwarden]# curl http://localhost:32080
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
[root@centbox bitwarden]#

Docker appears okay:

[root@centbox bitwarden]# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                 COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                   PORTS                                           NAMES
a172efe73114        bitwardenrs/server:latest             "/start.sh"         6 minutes ago       Up 6 minutes (healthy)   0.0.0.0:3012->3012/tcp, 0.0.0.0:32080->80/tcp   bitwarden
[root@centbox bitwarden]#

No other information appears in the docker log (via docker logs bitwarden) or via the /data/bitwarden.log file. It's as if the connection doesn't each the application in docker.

The port chosen (32080) isn't used for anything else.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT:
If I run curl within the container, you get the expected response:

[root@centbox bitwarden]# docker exec -it bitwarden curl http://localhost

It appears my docker setup isn't correct, as adding the --network host flag to my docker run command fixed the issue. So the following command works for me:

docker run -d --network host --name bitwarden -e WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true -e LOG_FILE=/data/bitwarden.log -e ROCKET_PORT=32080 -v /opt/bitwarden/:/data/ bitwardenrs/server:latest

Of course I had to also add the -e ROCKET_PORT=32080 flag, or bitwarden attempted to start on port 80 which is in use on my system. And this also means that the websocket is running on the default 3012 on my host system occupying that port too.

I'd like to know what I've done to my docker config though.
