Changing the number of workers

When you run vaultwarden, it spawns 2 * <number of cpu cores> workers to handle requests. On some systems this might lead to low number of workers and hence slow performance, so the default in the docker image is changed to spawn 10 threads. You can override this setting to increase or decrease the number of workers by setting the ROCKET_WORKERS variable.

In the example below, we're starting with 20 workers:

docker run -d --name vaultwarden \
  -e ROCKET_WORKERS=20 \
  -v /vw-data/:/data/ \
  -p 80:80 \
  vaultwarden/server:latest
