# BitBetter
|

|
|
This project is a tool to modify bitwardens core dll to allow me to self license.
|
|
Beware this does janky IL magic to rewrite the bitwarden core dll and install my self signed certificate.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To build your own `bitwarden/api` image run
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
replace anywhere `bitwarden/api` is used with `bitbetter/api` and give it a go. no promises
|
|
|
|
## Issuing your own licenses
|
|
|
|
The repo is setup to replace the licesning signing cert in bitwarden.core with my own personal self signed cert (`cert.cert`)
|
|
If you want to be able to sign your own licenses obviously you'll have to replace it with your own self signed cert.
|
|
|
|
you can generate one with openssl like so:
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.cert -days 36500 -outform DER
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Convert your DER certificate to a PEM
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl x509 -inform DER -in cert.cert -out cert.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Convert your public and private key into a PKCS12/PFX
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.pfx -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Signing licesnses
|
|
|
|
There is a tool included to generate a license (see `src/liceseGen/`)
|
|
|
|
generate a PFX above using a password of `test` and then build the tool using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./src/licenseGen/build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This tool build ontop of the bitbetter/api container image so make sure you've built that above using the root `./build.sh` script.
|
|
|
|
After that you can run the tool using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./src/LicenseGen/run.sh <PATH TO YOUR PFX>
|
|
```

# Questions (you might have?)
|
|
|
|
## But why? Its open source?
|
|
|
|
Yes, bitwarden is great. If I didn't care about it i wouldn't be doing this.
|
|
I was bothered that if i want to host bitwarden myself, at my house,
|
|
for my family to use (with the ability to share access) I would still have to pay a monthly ENTERPRISE organization fee.
|
|
To host it myself. And maintain it myself. Basically WTH was bitwarden doing that I was paying them for?
|
|
|
|
## You should have reached out to bitwarden
|
|
|
|
Thanks, good idea. And I did. Currently they're not focused on solving this issue - yet.
|
|
To be clear i'm totally happy to give them my money. Offer a perpetual family license, and i'd pay for it.
|
|
Offer me a license thats tied to a version, I'll gladly rebuy another when a new version comes out AND i'm ready to upgrade.
|
|
|
|
I provided all these suggestions to bitwarden and they told me to wait until next year. Until then there's this.
