Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that your MXLinux Latest is up-to-date and has access to the internet. Also, you should have a non-root user account with sudo privileges.

Step 4: Create a New Databag

Now that Databag is installed, you can start using it to store your sensitive data. To create a new databag, run the following command:

databag create my_databag

Replace my_databag with a name of your choice. The command will prompt you to enter a password for your databag. Make sure to choose a strong password and keep it safe.

Step 5: Add Items to the Databag

To add items to your databag, use the following command:

databag add my_databag my_item my_secret

Replace my_databag with the name of your databag, my_item with the name of the item that you want to store, and my_secret with the secret value that you want to store.

Keep in mind that Databag is not foolproof and can be broken into with enough time and resources. Therefore, it is recommended that you use additional measures such as two-factor authentication and regular backups of your databag to ensure the security of your sensitive data.

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!
