Databag is a tool that simplifies the process of securely storing and retrieving sensitive data in Python projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of Databag on Linux Mint latest.
Before starting with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
To work with Databag, you need to install the PyNaCl cryptography library. You can install it using the pip package manager. Run the following command to install it:
pip3 install pynacl
Next, you need to clone the Databag repository from Github. You can do this by running the following git command on your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/balzack/databag.git
This will download the entire Databag repository to your current working directory.
Now, navigate to the cloned Databag directory:
cd databag
To install Databag on your system, run the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
This will install Databag on your system.
To verify that Databag has been installed successfully, import the Databag module into a Python script and run a sample program. Create a new Python file with a name "test.py" and add the following code:
import databag
secret_key = "your_secret_key_here"
# create a new databag
bag = databag.load(secret_key)
# write a new key-value pair
bag.set("mykey", "myvalue")
# read the value
value = bag.get("mykey")
print(value)
Replace "your_secret_key_here" with your own secret key.
Now, run the program by executing the following command on your terminal:
python3 test.py
This will output the value of "myvalue" which was previously set. If the program runs without any errors, then Databag has been successfully installed on your system.
In this tutorial, we explained the process of installing Databag on Linux Mint. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now have Databag installed on your Linux Mint system. You can now use Databag to securely store and retrieve sensitive data in your Python projects.
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!
