I have setup bitwarden with Caddy reverse proxy. I'm running it with port 8088 and with caddy it works great with ACME LE Certs.

All these are behind a pfsense firewall

I then enabled WEBSOCKETS & opened up the port in pfsense

this my Caddy v1 Caddyfile

bitwarden.domain.com {
  tls {
    dns cloudflare
    wildcard
  }

  proxy / 192.168.10.74:8088 {
    transparent
  }
  proxy /notifications/hub/negotiate 192.168.10.74:8088 {
    transparent
  }
  proxy /notifications/hub 192.168.10.74:3012 {
    websocket
  }
 gzip
}

Livesync doesnt work with this setup. any change i make in app is not synced unless i referesh the page in another session OR client

My docker compose is

# bitwarden
version: '3'

services:
 bitwarden:
  image: bitwardenrs/server:alpine
  container_name: bitwarden
  restart: always
  volumes:
      - /opt/bitwarden/data:/data/
  ports:
    - 8088:80
  environment:
    LOG_FILE: '/opt/bitwarden/bitwarden.log'
    LOG_LEVEL: 'debug'
    EXTENDED_LOGGING: 'true'
    WEB_VAULT_ENABLED: 'true'
    WEBSOCKET_ENABLED: 'true'
    WEBSOCKET_PORT: '3012'
    ADMIN_TOKEN: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
    SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: 'true'

this is what i see in the errors log on the caddy server

[ERROR 502 /notifications/hub] dial tcp 192.168.10.74:3012: connect: connection refused

@yodaphone commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2020):

it was a stupid mistake on my part.. forgot to open ports in my docker compose
