How to Install sysPass on Debian Latest

sysPass is a password manager and access control system that is easy to use and secure. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install sysPass on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you should have the following:

• A Debian Latest server
• Sudo privileges or root access to the server
• A web server like Apache or Nginx
• PHP 7.2 or later
• MySQL or MariaDB

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

First, update your system and install the Apache web server and PHP 7.2 or later:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-json php7.4-gd php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-intl php7.4-xml

Once installed, start the Apache web server by running:

sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2

Step 2: Install and Configure MySQL or MariaDB

Next, install the MySQL or MariaDB database server:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for the MySQL database.

After installation, start the MySQL service and enable it to start on boot:

sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql

Then, log in to MySQL using the root password you created earlier:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database for sysPass:

CREATE DATABASE syspass;

Create a new MySQL user and grant it privileges to the syspass database:

CREATE USER 'syspassuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspassuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace password with a strong password.

Exit the MySQL console:

exit;

Step 3: Install sysPass

Download the latest release of sysPass from the official website:

wget https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/master.zip

Unzip the archive and move the extracted folder to your web server directory:

unzip master.zip
sudo mv sysPass-master /var/www/html/syspass

Change the owner and group of the sysPass directory to the Apache user and group:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/syspass

Step 4: Configure sysPass

Rename the .env.example file to .env:

cd /var/www/html/syspass
sudo cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file with your favorite text editor:

sudo nano .env

Change the following configuration settings:

APP_NAME="SysPass"
APP_URL=http://yourdomain.com/syspass
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=syspass
DB_USERNAME=syspassuser
DB_PASSWORD=password

Save and close the file.

Generate a new application key:

php artisan key:generate

Run the database migrations:

php artisan migrate

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host configuration file for sysPass:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/syspass.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/syspass/public

    <Directory /var/www/html/syspass>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

Save and close the file.

Enable the virtual host:

sudo a2ensite syspass.conf

Reload the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Step 6: Access sysPass

Open a web browser and go to http://yourdomain.com/syspass. You should see the sysPass login page.

Log in with the default username admin and password admin.
