Requirements and responsibilities

Illustrative situation

A small team wants a private Vaultwarden instance for shared credentials. The owner must prove HTTPS, invitation policy and data recovery before storing real secrets.

Dashboard and application procedure

Follow these steps yourself, or use the scoped AI handoff below for supported hosting operations.

Step 1 of 5

Review vault threat model

Where
Team access policy and Vaultwarden docs
Permissions
Authorized xCloud read access to the named team and site; the relevant app or provider owner supplies records outside xCloud.
Inputs
Users, domain, registration policy, recovery owner
Action
Decide who may invite users, whether public signup is disabled, and where admin token and recovery exports will be held.
Expected result
A limited-access design before creation.
Verify
Confirm a second trusted operator understands recovery custody.
If it fails
If no secure credential store exists, establish one before generating real vault items.

Step 2 of 5

Install at a stable HTTPS host

Where
xCloud Add site → One-Click Apps
Permissions
Authorized xCloud site owner with dashboard rights for the exact setting, backup, staging or restore action and a reviewed target.
Inputs
Vaultwarden template, Docker + NGINX server, domain
Action
Use the documented dashboard flow for Vaultwarden, review generated environment inputs and save the admin token outside tickets or chat.
Expected result
A reachable web vault with a recorded site ID.
Verify
Inspect certificate name and server/site identity before login.
If it fails
If HTTPS is absent, keep the installation empty and repair routing first.

Step 3 of 5

Set admin and registration controls

Where
Vaultwarden administration panel
Permissions
Authorized Vaultwarden application administrator or delegated role with rights for this task; hosting access alone is insufficient.
Inputs
Admin token, SMTP provider, signup policy
Action
Open the administration panel with the server admin token, disable open registration for a private vault, and configure invite mail if needed.
Expected result
Only intended users can obtain accounts.
Verify
Attempt a new uninvited signup and send one test invite.
If it fails
If signup remains open or mail fails, stop onboarding and correct settings.

Step 4 of 5

Test a vault account and client

Where
Vaultwarden web vault and compatible client
Permissions
Authorized Vaultwarden application administrator or delegated role with rights for this task; hosting access alone is insufficient.
Inputs
Disposable user account, harmless secret
Action
Create a non-production vault account, add a dummy item, then sign in from a browser extension or second client and confirm sync.
Expected result
A functioning vault data path independent of admin panel access.
Verify
Check item content after logout/login and client sync.
If it fails
If client cannot sync, inspect exact server URL and HTTPS before importing secrets.

Step 5 of 5

Prove recovery scope

Where
Vaultwarden data inventory and xCloud Docker Backup
Permissions
Authorized xCloud team/site operator with the discovered write scope for this exact operation and owner approval for its target and interruption.
Inputs
Database backend, attachments, config, keys, snapshot
Action
Identify whether SQLite or external DB is used; ensure database and attachment/config paths are protected. Confirm a Completed backup and rehearse a separate test restore.
Expected result
A recoverable vault before real use.
Verify
Verify test item and attachment survive restore in isolation.
If it fails
If only the database survived, do not assume attachments or admin settings can be recovered.

Recovery decisions

AI handoff

Connect an authorized xCloud MCP profile and discover its exact tools and team scope. The packaged REST wrapper is GET-only; use dashboard or app controls for undocumented writes.

Supported scope

  • Confirm requirements and inspect resources mcp · read

    Discover the connected profile and operation schema first; only teams granted to the connection are visible.

    Checkpoint: Confirm exact team, server and site identity. Use dashboard_url returned by the resource; do not invent a dashboard link.

    Operation identifiers and scopes to discover

    teams.index, servers.show, sites.show

    Scopes: read:servers, read:sites

Manual checkpoints

  • Approve exact site, target, cost and any write or maintenance window after inspecting the proposed plan.
  • An authorized Vaultwarden administrator must configure and test app users, content, integrations and business rules in the app.
  • Native WordPress staging, backup schedule/settings, push/pull and all restores are dashboard-only; Docker restore is dashboard-only and replaces state.
  • Reconcile data created after the chosen recovery point before any destructive restore.
