Teampass is a password management system that can help you and your team organize, store and share passwords. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Teampass on Linux Mint operating system.
Before starting, it is recommended to update the packages to the latest version. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Teampass requires some dependencies to be installed before we can proceed with its installation. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php curl php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-gd php-xml php-zip unzip -y
Go to the Teampass website and download the latest version that matches your operating system specifications. You can use the following command to download the Teampass archive in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/Teampass/Teampass/archive/master.zip
Use the following command to extract the downloaded Teampass archive:
unzip master.zip
Move the extracted files to the /var/www/html directory:
sudo mv Teampass-master/* /var/www/html/
In order for Teampass to function properly, we need to set the correct permissions on its files and directories. Use the following command to set the required permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html
We need to create a MySQL database and user for Teampass to use. Follow these steps to create a new database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
Replace dbname with the name of your desired database.
Create a new MySQL user:
GRANT ALL ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace dbname, username and password with appropriate values.
Exit MySQL:
exit
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. The Teampass installation wizard will appear on the screen.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process. When prompted, enter the database details for the newly created database.
You have successfully installed Teampass on your Linux Mint operating system. You can now use it to organize, store and share passwords with your team.
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!
