SnyPy is an open-source security and privacy tool used for encrypting, decrypting, and sharing files securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of SnyPy in the latest version of Fedora Server.
Before starting the installation of SnyPy, make sure your Fedora Server is up-to-date by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf update -y
Make sure you also have Python 3 installed.
Follow the steps below to install SnyPy on Fedora Server:
sudo dnf install gcc openssl-devel python3-devel -y
pip3:sudo dnf install python3-pip -y
cryptography:pip3 install cryptography
snypy:pip3 install snypy
snypy --version
You should see the version number if the installation was successful.
SnyPy usage is well-documented on their official documentation site.
Some examples:
Assuming you have a file called document.docx:
snypy encrypt document.docx -p mypassword
This will create a file called document.docx.enc in the same directory.
Assuming you have a file called document.docx.enc:
snypy decrypt document.docx.enc -p mypassword
This will create a file called document.docx in the same directory.
We have successfully installed SnyPy on Fedora Server and demonstrated how to use it to encrypt and decrypt files. Keep in mind that SnyPy is an open-source project, and its development depends on contributions from the community. If you encounter any issues or have any feedback, consider submitting an issue on their GitHub repository.
Happy encrypting!
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!
