I want to host a Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden if necessary) instance, but it keeps asking for a domain and a SSL certificate. I dont own a domain and dont want to enable port forwarding on my router to expose it to the outside.

Is it possible to host a instance only internally and access it via the IP or a domain set on my local DNS? How about SSL is it possible and/or necessary?

    I know the desktop, and mobile apps work without https, however I can’t remember if you can set it up via those apps?

    I ran vaultwarden for a couple of years without q certificate, I just couldn’t log into my instance via the browser.
