In this tutorial, we will be installing Vaults on EndeavourOS, which is a web-based password manager that enables you to store all your passwords and sensitive data in a secure vault.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To begin, open up a terminal window and install the Git and Node.js packages by running the following commands:
sudo pacman -S git
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Next, clone the Vaults repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MatrixEternal/vaults.git
This will create a new directory called "vaults" in your current working directory.
Navigate into the "vaults" directory by running the following command:
cd vaults
Once inside the directory, install the project dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This will download and install all of the required packages needed to run Vaults.
Vaults requires a configuration file to run properly. We will create a sample configuration file by running the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Next, open the newly created ".env" file in a text editor and fill in the required information according to your needs. Be sure to provide secure values for the APP_KEY, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD fields.
Once you have completed configuring the environment, you can run the application by executing the following command:
npm start
This will start the application and make it available at http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vaults on EndeavourOS. You may now use it to securely store all your passwords and sensitive data. Be sure to keep the application up-to-date by checking for updates regularly.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
