How to Install Psono on FreeBSD Latest

Psono is an open-source password manager that allows you to store passwords and login credentials in a secure way. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Psono on a FreeBSD Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that your FreeBSD Latest system is up to date and you have administrative privileges to install new software. You also need to have the following software installed:

• Python 3.6 or later
• pip for Python 3
• Git

The following command can be run to update the system and install the necessary software:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg install python3 py36-pip git

Installation Steps

1. Clone the Psono repository to your FreeBSD Latest system using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/psono/psono-server.git
   

2. Change directory to the cloned Psono repository:

   cd psono-server
   

3. Install the required Python packages using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Create a new PostgreSQL database for Psono using the following commands.

   Note: Replace psono with the desired name for your database.

   sudo pkg install postgresql94-server postgresql94-contrib
   sudo sysrc postgresql_enable="YES"
   sudo service postgresql initdb
   sudo service postgresql start
   sudo -u postgres createdb psono
   

5. Create a new PostgreSQL user with privileges to access the psono database using the following commands:

   Note: Replace username and password with your desired username and password, respectively.

   sudo -u postgres createuser -P username
   psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE psono TO username;"
   

6. Create a new configuration file for Psono using the following command:

   cp psono_server/settings_local.py.dist psono_server/settings_local.py
   

7. Edit the settings_local.py file with the following values:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
           'NAME': 'psono',
           'USER': 'username',
           'PASSWORD': 'password',
           'HOST': 'localhost',
           'PORT': '',
       }
   }
   

   Note: Replace username and password with the PostgreSQL user credentials created in step 5.

8. Run the following command to initialize the database:

   python3 manage.py migrate
   

9. Create a new admin user for Psono using the following command:

   python3 manage.py createsuperuser
   

10. Start the Psono server using the following command:

    python3 manage.py runserver
    

11. The Psono server is now running and can be accessed via a web browser at http://localhost:8000/.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Psono on FreeBSD Latest! You can now start using Psono as your password manager to securely store and manage your passwords and login credentials.

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!
