Databag is an open-source project that provides a simple and secure way to store sensitive configuration data as encrypted files. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Databag on your Fedora Server.
You can install Databag by following the given steps:
Before we begin, it is necessary to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies for Databag. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y python3-cryptography python3-click
This installs the required cryptography and click modules for Python 3.
Next, we need to download the Databag project from GitHub. Run the following command to download the latest version:
git clone https://github.com/balzack/databag.git
This will download the repository to your current working directory.
Now that we have downloaded Databag, we can install it using the setup.py script. Change to the databag directory and execute the following command:
cd databag
sudo python3 setup.py install
This will install Databag on your Fedora Server.
After installation, we need to configure Databag to work with our system. Databag reads configuration from the databag.ini file. We need to copy the sample configuration file and make changes to it accordingly.
Copy the sample databag.ini.sample file to databag.ini using the following command:
sudo cp databag.ini.sample databag.ini
Next, open the databag.ini file using your preferred text editor, and change the sa_path, sa_key and default_profile settings according to your requirements. Save the changes and close the file.
To check that Databag has been installed correctly, run the following command:
databag --version
This should display the current version of Databag that has been installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Databag on your Fedora Server. You can now use it to store and manage sensitive configuration data. To learn more about Databag, please refer to the official documentation on GitHub.
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!
