Password Pusher is a web-based tool that allows you to securely share passwords and other sensitive information with others. It operates on a client-server model where the server stores the encrypted passwords and clients can access them via a web interface or API. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Password Pusher on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, update the package repository index and install the required dependencies:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install -y git ruby rubygem-bundler rubygem-nokogiri
Next, clone the Password Pusher repository to your local machine by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher.git /usr/local/www/passwordpusher
In the previous step, we cloned the Password Pusher repository to /usr/local/www/passwordpusher. Now, navigate to the project directory:
cd /usr/local/www/passwordpusher
And install the required dependencies:
sudo bundle install
To configure Password Pusher, copy the example database.yml file and edit it as appropriate:
sudo cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
sudo nano config/database.yml
Specify the database name, username, and password to connect to the database server. (The PostgreSQL database server is used by default in Password Pusher.)
Next, copy the example password_pusher.yml file:
sudo cp config/password_pusher.yml.example config/password_pusher.yml
sudo nano config/password_pusher.yml
Specify the host and port to bind to, the secret key base (a cryptographic key used for encrypting session data), and any other settings you want to configure.
Create a new PostgreSQL database for Password Pusher:
sudo -u postgres createdb passwordpusher
Initialize the database schema by running:
sudo bundle exec rake db:migrate
Finally, start the Password Pusher server:
sudo bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -e production
The server will start and bind to the specified host and port. You can now access the Password Pusher web interface by navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:<port> in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we covered the steps to install Password Pusher on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can securely store and share passwords and sensitive information with others. Enjoy!
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!
