Simply configure your domain URL to include the base dir. For example, suppose you want to access your installation at `https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-dir`.
1. Stop bitwarden_rs.
2. If you normally configure bitwarden_rs using the admin page, edit your `config.json` to look as follows:
```javascript
{
"domain": "https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-path",
"domain": "https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-dir",
// ... other values ...
}
```
3. If you normally configure bitwarden_rs via environment variables, update your config files/scripts to set the `DOMAIN` environment variable to the base URL. For example:
```sh
docker run -e DOMAIN="https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-path" ...
docker run -e DOMAIN="https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-dir" ...
```
4. Restart bitwarden_rs.
5. You should now be able to access the web vault at `https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-path/` (note the trailing slash). For reasons not entirely clear, you may run into issues if you use `https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-path` (without the trailing slash).
6. Configure your apps or browser extensions to use `https://bitwarden.example.com/secret-path`. If you add a trailing slash, the apps and extensions will automatically remove it before saving.

## Modifying the web vault
The issue with the web vault is there's no simple way to configure it for a specific base URL. Instead, the code generally just assumes the web vault URL is given by `window.location.origin`, which always represents the root of the subdomain. This is true of both the upstream web vault and the patched version used in bitwarden_rs:
* https://github.com/bitwarden/web/blob/f7f7040/src/app/services/services.module.ts#L137-L144
* https://github.com/dani-garcia/bw_web_builds/blob/5c9de1a/patches/v2.11.0.patch#L17-L29
Here are some approaches you could take to modify the web vault to work at a different base dir.
### The hard and clean way
Modify the upstream code and/or bitwarden_rs patches and rebuild the web vault. (Someone else can document this if they're interested.)
### The quick and dirty way
1. Enter a shell in the bitwarden_rs container: `docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/sh`
2. Patch the web vault: `sed -i "s|window\.location\.origin|window.location.origin+'/secret-dir'|g" /web-vault/app/main*.js` (of course, replace `/secret-dir` with your actual base dir)
