Vaultwarden Build Version

1.32.1

Deployment method

Manually Extracted from Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

caddy 2.6.2

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Clients

Web Vault

Client Version

bw_web_v2024.6.2c

Steps To Reproduce

1. As an ordinary user in an arbitrary directory, run vaultwarden --version on the commandline
2. Observe output

Expected Result

Output vaultwarden 1.32.1

This used to work: the --version output from the previous version is vaultwarden 1.32.0

Note that --help does output the version string, so there is a workaround to getting this info from cmdline for now:

Vaultwarden 1.32.1
Alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust                                           
USAGE:
    vaultwarden [FLAGS|COMMAND]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -v, --version    Prints the app and web-vault version

COMMAND:
    hash [--preset {bitwarden|owasp}]  Generate an Argon2id PHC ADMIN_TOKEN
    backup                             Create a backup of the SQLite database
                                       You can also send the USR1 signal to trigger a backup

PRESETS:                  m=         t=          p=
    bitwarden (default) 64MiB, 3 Iterations, 4 Threads
    owasp               19MiB, 2 Iterations, 1 Thread

Actual Result

Error loading config:
  SQLite database directory `data` does not exist or is not a directory

Logs

No response

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Thanks. The scenario without any config was overlooked in this case.
