Now that you have your Vaultwarden password manager running, and your backups in place, you need to test those backups regularly. In this video, I will show you how to restore your Vaultwarden password database from backup, in case disaster strikes. I strongly suggest doing this regularly, so you can rest assured that your backups are valid and working. It will help you sleep better, I know I do!
When you trust your personal and private account information to a password manager, you want to ensure you have reliable backups.
In my last video, I showed you how to set up Vaultwarden as a self-hosted password manager, and in this video, I will show you how to have a reliable and consistent backup of that password database. Now you are ready, in case disaster strikes and you need to restore your Vaultwarden password database.
Please find my docker-compose stack below to get you started:
version: "3.8"
services:

In this video, I will show you how to self-host and set up Vaultwarden in Docker. It is THE best password manager out there because you are in control of where the data is stored.
And the best part is you do not need to trust and pay some Cloud service to keep your passwords and accounts safe, while at the same time hoping that they will not get breached or hacked (historically speaking, they will).
My docker-compose, to help you get started:
services:
vaultwarden:
image: vaultwarden/server:latest
container_name: vaultwarden
restart: always
environment:
SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: "true"
ports:

Did you know that you can deploy VMware VCF with only one NSX node? This is specifically very helpful if you are running a demo or lab with limited resources, but still want to experience VMware VCF. In this video, I will show you how to set that up.
Check out my video for VMware VCF deployment using Cloudbuilder here.
Find the commands used below and don’t forget to change paths accordingly:
Get the correct permissions using:
su -Generate the json file on the Cloudbuilder appliance:
/opt/vmware/sddc-support/sos --jsongenerator --jsongenerator-input /home/admin/vcf511-homelab.xlsx --jsongenerator-design vcf511-limitedCopy the json file to your home directory on the Cloudbuilder appliance:
cp /opt/vmware/sddc-support/cloud_admin_tools/Resources/vcf511-limited/vcf511-limited.json /home/admin/
In this video, I will show you how to set up an automatic configuration backup schedule for your VMware VCF 5 platform using the built-in backup option in the SDDC manager.
