How to Install Teampass in Arch Linux

Teampass is a web-based password manager that allows you to securely store and share passwords with your team. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Teampass on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, make sure that your Arch Linux system is up-to-date by running the following commands:

sudo pacman -Syu

Also, you need to have a web server installed on your system. We will use Apache in this tutorial.

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

Next, install PHP along with required modules:

sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-gd php-pgsql php-ldap php-mcrypt php-mbstring

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Teampass uses a PostgreSQL database to store passwords. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S postgresql

Then start and enable the PostgreSQL service:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Step 3: Create a Database for Teampass

To create a new PostgreSQL database, you must first switch to the PostgreSQL user:

sudo -i -u postgres

Next, create a new database and user:

createdb teampassdb
createuser teampassuser

Then set a password for the teampassuser:

psql
ALTER USER teampassuser WITH PASSWORD 'password';

You can replace 'password' with your desired password.

Step 4: Install Teampass

Download the latest version of Teampass from their official website:

wget https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass/releases/download/v2.1.35/TeamPass_2.1.35.zip

Unzip the downloaded file:

unzip TeamPass_2.1.35.zip

Then move the extracted files to the Apache document root:

sudo mv TeamPass_2.1.35 /srv/http/teampass

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new configuration file for Apache:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/teampass.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /teampass /srv/http/teampass
<Directory "/srv/http/teampass">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Configure Teampass

Create a new configuration file for Teampass:

sudo nano /srv/http/teampass/configuration.php

Edit the following lines to reflect your PostgreSQL database details:

define('DB_ENGINE', 'pgsql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'teampassdb');
define('DB_USER', 'teampassuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

Save and close the file.

Step 7: Access Teampass

Restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Then open your web browser and navigate to:

http://localhost/teampass

You will be prompted to create an admin account. Follow the instructions to finish the installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Teampass on Arch Linux.
