We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Official server vs Vaultwarden
Official Bitwarden self-hosted is a Docker Compose stack of ~10 services. It requires significantly more RAM (4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended) than Vaultwarden (which serves the same client API in 64 MB). For organizations with formal procurement requiring official-vendor software, the heavier stack is justified.
Sizing
Minimum: 4 vCPU 8 GB RAM 80 GB NVMe. Recommended for small org: 4 vCPU 16 GB RAM. Includes MS SQL Server (Linux variant), Identity service, Admin, API, Web, Notifications, and a few sidecars.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans for this tier from $39.90/mo. Crypto payment, no KYC. Internal links: /en/hosting-for-vaultwarden-offshore, /en/anonymous-vps.
Licensing note
Most features of self-hosted Bitwarden work without a license. Some advanced enterprise features require a Bitwarden subscription license uploaded to the self-hosted instance. Confirm your needs against the official feature matrix before deploying."
