Bitwarden CLI (bitwarden-cli)

Installs the official Bitwarden CLI binary from Bitwarden release assets.

Example Usage

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/bitwarden-cli:1": {
        "version": "latest"
    }
}

AI assisted installation

Copy the block below into a chat with your coding agent:

Add ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/bitwarden-cli:1 to this project's Dev Container. Follow https://github.com/sliekens/devcontainer-features/blob/main/src/bitwarden-cli/README.md. Use the collection's shared initializeCommand pipeline (devcontainer + jq + xargs over customizations.sliekens[].initializeCommand) for host bind pre-create; Unix/WSL2 only. Prefer that over hand-written mkdir unless asked.

Options

Option Type Default Description
version string latest Version to install. Use latest or a release version like 2026.2.0 or v2026.2.0.

Persistent State

Host path Container path Purpose
~/.config/Bitwarden CLI /home/vscode/.config/Bitwarden CLI Vault data and session

This directory is bind-mounted from the host so that vault data and session are preserved across container rebuilds.

Docker cannot bind-mount host paths that do not yet exist. Each feature in this collection that needs host paths declares a host init command under customizations.sliekens.initializeCommand. Wire a single initializeCommand in your devcontainer.json to run all of them (works for any number of features):

"initializeCommand": "devcontainer read-configuration --workspace-folder . --include-merged-configuration | jq -r '(.mergedConfiguration.customizations.sliekens // []) | .[] | .initializeCommand' | xargs -I{} bash -c {}"

Requires devcontainer and jq on the host PATH.

Note: This host init pipeline runs only on Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS, and source code inside WSL2 on Windows). Native Windows (cmd.exe) is not supported — the Dev Containers CLI runs initializeCommand via /bin/sh -c on Unix and cmd.exe /c on native Windows.

Manual alternative

If you prefer not to automate with the Dev Containers CLI, jq, and xargs, pre-create the host paths yourself in initializeCommand:

"initializeCommand": "mkdir -p \"$HOME/.config/Bitwarden CLI\""
