Minimalist Vaultwarden + Auto-TLS stack (43s deployment, 11.95 MiB footprint)

Source: DEV Community

I've seen too many bloated tutorials using Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik just to expose a simple Vaultwarden instance, resulting in unnecessary memory overhead and TLS configuration headaches for newcomers. I wanted to see how minimal and fast we could push a production-ready deployment from zero to a fully secured https:// endpoint. I wrote a zero-dependency bash pipeline that: Bootstraps Docker & Compose natively based on the OS. Injects a hardened Caddyfile for automatic Let's Encrypt TLS (with HSTS & security headers). Auto-generates a cryptographically secure 48-char ADMIN_TOKEN via OpenSSL. Profiles the exact CPU/RAM usage and deployment duration. The Benchmark Results: Total Time (Zero to HTTPS): ~43s Vaultwarden RAM Usage: 11.95 MiB Caddy RAM Usage: ~20 MiB Host: (1GB RAM, 1 vCPU) The Pipeline Source: If you want to audit the code or reproduce the benchmark, I threw the install.sh, docker-compose.yml, and Caddyfile into this Gist: Caddyfile What are you guys using for
