PassWall is an open-source password manager that helps users store passwords and sensitive information securely. It provides an intuitive user interface and various storage and password generating options. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you install PassWall on Debian Latest.
Before installing PassWall, it is essential to update the system packages to their latest version for better performance and security. Run the following commands to update and upgrade the system packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
PassWall requires Node.js, Git, and MongoDB to work correctly. Install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs git mongodb -y
Next, clone the PassWall repository using Git on the server:
git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git
This command will create a new directory named passwall-server.
Navigate inside the passwall-server directory and install the required Node.js modules using the following command:
cd passwall-server
npm install
PassWall requires a configuration file to set up the server, including MongoDB connection details, email authentication, and other configurations. Use the following command to create a default configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
Next, open the .env file in your favorite text editor and modify the configuration as per your requirements:
nano .env
After setting up the configuration, run the PassWall server using the following command:
npm start
The server will start and listen to port 3000 by default. You can browse http://your_server_ip_address:3000 to access the PassWall web interface. You can also modify the port according to your needs.
You have successfully installed PassWall on Debian Latest. You can now use your secure password manager to store sensitive information with peace of mind.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
