dockerless install update

[sysadminpower2019]

Hello all,

i installed vaultwarden without docker quite some time ago. It has been working perfectly but i have realized that the version I have on my system is very outdated and possibly dangerous.
Apparently the original guide I used for the install is also no longer available.
What would be the process to update this install? I suppose that only the data in the "data" folder needs to be preserved if not using an external db?

In that case all in the data folder is the important stuff.
Regarding on how to update. I have no clue. There are several community supported dockerless install options.

See https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Third-party-packages

should it be enough to simply replace all the files in the /var/lib/vaultwarden besides the data folder with the new data?
/var/lib/vaultwarden seems to be where everything is installed

We don't know how you set up your system or what's in /var/lib/vaultwarden (besides the data folder), so you did not provide enough information for us to answer your questions.

To update Vaultwarden manually you need to replace both the vaultwarden binary and if you are using the web vault, you should also replace the contents of the web-vault folder (or point WEB_VAULT_FOLDER to the updated web-vault).

I'd recommend reading the configuration overview (and related pages) if you can't remember how you setup your system. Some things you have to figure out yourself (i.e. if you use systemd to start vaultwarden or if you use a different init system, etc).

Bit late to the party - it sounds like you've used https://gist.github.com/heinoldenhuis/f8164f73e5bff048e76fb4fff2e824e1 (not available anymore). by @heinoldenhuis

Based on that gist, I've build an install / upgrade script: https://github.com/Anuril/vwinst

It currently works on debian 11 + 12, results with rhel based distros might differ, and it might not work for your instance.
