## Why do I see no icons for all my vault items?
There are multiple reasons why there is no icon shown.
If it is just for a few of the vault items it could be that we are not able to extract it. Some sites have some protections enabled which causes our implementation to fail. Most of them require Javascript to work.
It could also be that the Vaultwarden server is not able to access the Internet or resolve DNS queries.
You could check the `/admin/diagnostics` page to see if you can resolve DNS queries and have a connection to the Internet.

## Why does Vaultwarden say `[INFO] No .env file found.` even though I provided one?
While launching, Vaultwarden checks for the existence of a file called `.env` (if not changed via the environment variable `ENV_FILE`) in the current working directory of the process. If you have not provided this file Vaultwarden will simply _inform_ you that it has not found it. This file is not related to the env file you have provided to docker which loads in the environment variables on container creation or the EnvironmentFile used within a [systemd .service](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Setup-as-a-systemd-service).

## Can i run Vaultwarden as an Azure WebApp
Unfortunately Azure WebApp's uses CIFS/Samba as there volume storage which does not support locking. This causes issues with the SQLite database file.
There are two ways to solve this.
