Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• An operating system that runs on Linux kernel.
• A terminal to execute commands.
• Sudo or root privileges.

Step 1: Install Git

To download the PassWall repository from GitHub, we need to install Git on our system. To install Git, open the terminal and execute the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Now, we need to clone the PassWall repository from GitHub. To clone the repository, execute the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git

Once you execute the command, Git will download the repository into a new directory named "passwall-server" in the current working directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Before we can run the PassWall server, we need to install its dependencies. To install dependencies, execute the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S go go-tools sqlite

Step 4: Build the Server

Now, we need to build the PassWall server by executing the following commands in the terminal:

cd passwall-server
go build
./passwall-server init

The above commands will build the server and initialize the database.

Step 5: Configure the Server

In this step, we need to configure the server to run on our system. Open the "config.yaml" file in the "passwall-server" directory by executing the following command:

nano config.yaml

Update the following fields in the file with the appropriate values:

listen: 0.0.0.0:8000
mysql.user: <MYSQL_USER>
mysql.password: <MYSQL_PASSWORD>
mysql.host: <MYSQL_HOST>
mysql.port: <MYSQL_PORT>

Make sure to replace , , , and with your own MySQL database credentials.

Save and close the file by pressing "Ctrl + X," typing "y" to confirm, and hitting "Enter."

Step 6: Start the Server

Finally, start the PassWall server by executing the following command in the terminal:

./passwall-server run

The above command will start the server on the specified IP address and port (0.0.0.0:8000). You can now access the PassWall web interface by going to http://<your server's IP address>:8000 in your web browser.
