Change in v2025.2.1-beta to using globalSettings vs. BW_ env variables?

[holow29]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set up server with installation ID set as BW_INSTALLATION_ID in settings.env.
2. Start server

Expected Result

Server (and services) starts without error.

Actual Result

Every service does not start with error:

Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Installation Id must be set for self-hosted installations.

Additional Context

There has always been a disconnect between the globalSettings and the unified-specific env variables defined here (starting with BW_): https://bitwarden.com/help/install-and-deploy-unified-beta/

Has something changed with how these unified-specific settings are treated? What is the proper migration to globalSettings if so?

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Did you fixed the issue ?
I tried to update recently my onprem bitwarden and I have the same issue and I can't fix it

[holow29]

@gruffatremi In my case, I had messed up my installation ID and it was being read as null, so that was my error.

Yhea it happened my installation ID was 0000, so I just generated new ID and it worked out well
I still wonder how it was wroking before ahhaha

Thanks for the help !
