I want to host a Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden if necessary) instance, but it keeps asking for a domain and a SSL certificate. I dont own a domain and dont want to enable port forwarding on my router to expose it to the outside.

Is it possible to host a instance only internally and access it via the IP or a domain set on my local DNS? How about SSL is it possible and/or necessary?

Buy an xyz domain for like $1. If you choose a domain that just 9 random numbers its super cheap.

So something like 123456789.xyz

Then setup a SWAG container with DNS challenge. Join vaultwarden into the same docker network as SWAG, then add an entry to your router to point to vaultwarden using a subdomain.

If it’s just a bunch of numbers, why not just use the ip address?

TLS.

While technically you can use TLS with a self signed certificate, it creates additional problems with a public facing service. Only recommended for internal services.
