General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
An alternative server implementation of the Bitwarden Client API, written in Rust and compatible with official Bitwarden clients [disclaimer], perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.
The recommended way to install and use Vaultwarden is via our container images which are published to ghcr.io, docker.io and quay.io. See which container image to use for an explanation of the provided tags.
There are also community driven packages which can be used, but those might be lagging behind the latest version or might deviate in the way Vaultwarden is configured, as described in our Wiki.
Alternatively, you can also build Vaultwarden yourself.
While Vaultwarden is based upon the Rocket web framework which has built-in support for TLS our recommendation would be that you setup a reverse proxy (see proxy examples).
