SysPass is an open-source password manager that is used by various organizations to secure their passwords. Installing SysPass on Fedora Server Latest is an easy process, and this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before starting with the installation process, you will need to have the following requirements:
The first thing you need to do is update the system packages to their latest version. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
SysPass requires some dependencies to be installed before installation. The following command will install all the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y httpd php php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-ldap php-intl php-xml php-mbstring mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-client
After installing the dependencies, you can proceed to download and install SysPass on your server. To download SysPass, use the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/master.zip
Next, extract the downloaded Zip file using the following command:
sudo unzip master.zip
After extracting the files, move the files to your web server directory. In this tutorial, we will be using the default web server directory. To move the files, run the following command:
sudo mv sysPass-master /var/www/html/sysPass
Next, navigate to the SysPass directory and copy the configuration file:
cd /var/www/html/sysPass
sudo cp config.dist.php config.php
Give proper ownership and permission to SysPass directory:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/sysPass
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/sysPass
Next, we need to create a database and user for SysPass. To do this, enter the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql -u root
Once logged into MariaDB, create a new database named syspass:
CREATE DATABASE syspass;
Create a new user that SysPass will use to connect to the database:
CREATE USER 'syspass'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password#123';
Grant all privileges to the new user for the syspass database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspass'@'localhost';
Flush privileges and exit the MySQL shell:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Now that you have created a database and user, it's time to configure SysPass to use the database. Open the config.php file, located in the SysPass directory, using a text editor:
sudo vi /var/www/html/sysPass/config.php
Update the database configuration:
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'syspass');
define('DB_USER', 'syspass');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Password#123');
Save the file and exit the editor.
Next, we need to configure HTTPD to serve SysPass. Open the httpd.conf file and add the following configuration at the end of the file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sysPass
ServerName example.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/syspass_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/syspass_access.log combined
<Directory "/var/www/html/sysPass">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit the editor.
Finally, restart the services to make the changes take effect. Use the following command to restart HTTPD, MariaDB, and enable them on boot:
sudo systemctl restart httpd mariadb
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
After completing all the above steps, open your web browser and access the SysPass console by typing your server's IP address or domain name into the address bar. For example, http://yourIPAddress/sysPass
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SysPass on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start storing passwords and securing them using the SysPass password manager.
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!
