Introduction

Password Pusher is an open-source tool that allows users to securely and easily exchange passwords with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Password Pusher on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, we assume that:

• You have a machine running Alpine Linux Latest.
• You have access to a terminal and an administrative user account.
• You have an internet connection.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required packages for Password Pusher. Open your terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apk add build-base ruby-dev ruby-bundler

This will install the build tools, Ruby development files and the package manager (Bundler) for Ruby on Alpine Linux Latest.

Step 2: Download Password Pusher

Next, download the Password Pusher source code from Github using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher.git

This will create a new directory called PasswordPusher in your current directory.

Step 3: Install Gems

Once the Password Pusher source code is downloaded, navigate to the directory by typing:

cd PasswordPusher

Next, install the required gems by running:

bundle install --without development

Step 4: Configure Password Pusher

Now you need to configure Password Pusher database and SMTP settings. In this example we will be using SQLite database and no SMTP server setup. Do so by copying the sample configuration file:

cp config/pwpush.example.yml config/pwpush.yml

Next, edit the configuration file:

nano config/pwpush.yml

Find the following lines:

database_adapter: sqlite3
database: db/password_pusher.db

Change these lines to:

database_adapter: postgresql
database_url: "postgres://postgres@localhost/password_pusher"

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Initialize the Database

Now it is time to initialize the Password Pusher database. From within the PasswordPusher directory, run the following command:

bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate

This command will create a new PostgreSQL database named password_pusher.

Step 6: Start the Application

Finally, start the Password Pusher application by running:

bundle exec rackup -s puma -o 0.0.0.0 -p 3000

This will start the Password Pusher application on port 3000.
