Yopass is an open-source and self-hosted web-based password manager that allows you to share passwords and secure sensitive information with ease. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Yopass on Linux Mint latest version.
Before installing Yopass, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the Yopass repository from the GitHub website. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jhaals/yopass.git
This will download the Yopass source code to your local machine.
Next, navigate to the Yopass project directory using the following command:
cd yopass
Then, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
After installing the dependencies, you will need to configure Yopass. To configure Yopass, copy the .env.example file to .env:
cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env file and modify the following settings to match your environment:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://yopass:yopass@localhost/yopass
YOPASS_SECRET=RANDOM_SECRET
YOPASS_SENDER_EMAIL=SENDGRID_SENDER_EMAIL (optional)
SENDGRID_API_KEY=SENDGRID_API_KEY (optional)
YOPASS_BASE_URL=https://yopass.example.com/
To start the Yopass server, run the following command:
npm start
This will start the Yopass server on port 1337.
Finally, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:1337
If everything is working correctly, you should be able to create a new secret and share it with someone securely.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Yopass on Linux Mint latest version.
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!
