In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PassWall on your Linux Mint system. PassWall is a lightweight, secure and easy-to-use password manager that allows you to store and manage your passwords in one place.
Before installing PassWall, we need to install Git as it is required for downloading the source code from GitHub. You can install Git by executing the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
Once Git is installed, we can now download the PassWall source code by cloning the GitHub repository. To do this, execute the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/passwall/passwall-server.git
This will create a new passwall-server directory in your current working directory containing all the necessary files required to run PassWall.
Before starting the installation process, we need to install a few dependencies. To install these dependencies, execute the following command in your terminal:
cd passwall-server && ./scripts/setup.sh
The setup.sh script will install all the necessary dependencies required to run PassWall.
After installing the dependencies, we need to configure PassWall. To do this, execute the following command in your terminal:
sudo nano settings.yml
This will open the settings.yml file in your terminal. Here, you can configure the database, server, and other options related to PassWall.
Once you are done with the changes, save the file by pressing CTRL + X and type Y to confirm the changes.
Finally, we can now run PassWall by executing the following command:
sudo python server.py
This will start the PassWall server, and you can now access it using your web browser by entering http://localhost:5000 in the address bar.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PassWall on your Linux Mint system. You can now securely store and manage your passwords in one place.
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!
