This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install SysPass, a password manager, on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing SysPass, you need to have:
SysPass requires Apache and PHP to run. You can install them using the following command:
pkg install apache24 php74 php74-extensions
SysPass uses MariaDB as its database. You can install MariaDB using the following command:
pkg install mariadb104-server
Run the following command to start MariaDB and enable it to start automatically on system boot:
sysrc mysql_enable=YES
service mysql-server start
Next, secure the MariaDB installation by running the following command:
mysql_secure_installation
During the process, you'll be prompted to set up the root password and other security settings.
Log in to the MariaDB shell by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user for SysPass:
CREATE DATABASE syspass;
CREATE USER 'syspassuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspassuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Download the latest version of SysPass from their website:
fetch https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/master.zip
Extract the downloaded file:
unzip master.zip
Move the extracted directory to the Apache document root:
mv sysPass-master /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass
Change the ownership of the syspass directory to the Apache user:
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass
Copy the sample configuration file to the actual configuration file:
cp /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass/config/config.inc.sample.php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass/config/config.inc.php
Open the config.inc.php file:
nano /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass/config/config.inc.php
Update the following lines with the information you set up earlier:
$dbHost = 'localhost';
$dbPort = '3306';
$dbName = 'syspass';
$dbUser = 'syspassuser';
$dbPassword = 'password';
Make sure to replace 'password' with the strong password you chose.
Set the correct file permissions for the syspass directory:
chmod -R 771 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass/
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip/syspass/install/. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, delete the install directory:
rm -rf /usr/local/www/apache24/data/syspass/install/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SysPass on FreeBSD Latest. You can now securely manage your passwords and credentials with your new 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!
