   scp -r sysPass user@yourIP:/your/desired/directory
   

Step 2: Configure sysPass

2. Rename the file sample-config.inc.php to config.inc.php.

3. Open config.inc.php file in a text editor and edit the following fields:

   • $db['host'] - Set to your MySQL/MariaDB server hostname.
   • $db['user'] - Set to your MySQL/MariaDB username.
   • $db['password'] - Set to your MySQL/MariaDB password.
   • $db['database'] - Set to the name of the MySQL/MariaDB database you want to use for sysPass.
   • $default_domain - Set to the default domain name you want to use.
   • $default_scheme - Set to the default scheme you want to use (http or https).

   Remember to save the changes you made to the file.

Step 3: Install Docker and docker-compose

1. Install Docker on your system.

sudo apk add docker

2. Install docker-compose on your system.

sudo apk add docker-compose

3. Start Docker service

sudo service docker start

Step 4: Run sysPass with docker-compose

1. Navigate to sysPass/docker/.

2. Open the docker-compose.yml file in a text editor.

3. In the file, look for the line volumes: and append the path to the sysPass directory.

   Example:

     - /your/path/sysPass:/var/www/html/sysPass
   

4. Save the changes.

5. Run sysPass with docker-compose.

   docker-compose up -d
   

   This command will create a new container for sysPass and start the application.
