Migrate Vaultwarden to PostgreSQL: Scale for Teams [2026]

Self-hosting Vaultwarden with SQLite can lead to performance issues as the user base grows, particularly due to SQLite's limitations with concurrent writes. Transitioning to PostgreSQL allows for better performance, multi-user support, and enhanced data durability. PostgreSQL supports concurrent connections and row-level locking, making it more suitable for team environments. To migrate from SQLite to PostgreSQL, certain prerequisites must be met, including having an existing Vaultwarden deployment, Docker Engine, a PostgreSQL server, and pgloader installed. The migration process involves backing up existing data, deploying a PostgreSQL container, updating configuration files, and using pgloader to transfer data. A VPS with 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM can support up to 50 users, with larger teams requiring more resources. PostgreSQL also allows for the creation of organizations for shared vault access and the configuration of group policies for security. Regular backups and performance tuning are necessary to maintain optimal operation. Common pitfalls during migration include not stopping the Vaultwarden container before migration, failing to encode special characters in the database password, and neglecting to back up data. Troubleshooting may involve checking connection strings and ensuring the PostgreSQL container is healthy. Advanced configurations can enhance performance and functionality, and understanding the differences between Vaultwarden and Bitwarden's official self-hosted server can aid in decision-making.
