How to Install Teampass on MXLinux Latest?

Teampass is a web-based password manager tool that allows teams and organizations to share passwords easily and safely. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Teampass on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Teampass, you need to ensure that:

• You have a running instance of MXLinux Latest
• You have sudo or root access to the system
• You have a web server installed on the system (e.g., Apache or Nginx)
• You have PHP installed on the system

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install some dependencies required to run Teampass. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-curl php-gd php-mysqli

This command will install the curl, gd, and mysqli extensions for PHP.

Step 2: Download Teampass

Next, we need to download the Teampass source code from the official website. Open your web browser and navigate to https://teampass.net/. Click on the "Download" button to download the Teampass package.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the Teampass package directly from the terminal:

wget https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass/archive/master.zip

This command will download the Teampass package as a zip file.

Step 3: Extract Teampass

Extract the downloaded Teampass package in your web server's document root directory (typically /var/www/html). You can use the following command to extract the package:

sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/html/

This command will extract the Teampass files to /var/www/html/TeamPass-master directory.

Step 4: Configure Teampass

Now we need to configure Teampass to connect to the database. Copy the /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/teampass.config.default.php file to /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/teampass.config.php:

sudo cp /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/teampass.config.default.php /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/teampass.config.php

Next, edit the teampass.config.php file and set the database connection details:

sudo nano /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/teampass.config.php

Scroll down to the following section and set the database connection details:

// Database user 
define('PASSWORD_ADMIN', 'my_admin_password'); // Your custom password

// Sendmail or phpmailer
define('MAILER_VERSION', 'phpmailer');               // Mailer type (phpmailer or sendmail)

// Database connection
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');                      // Hostname of your database server
define('DB_NAME', 'teampass');                        // Name of your Teampass database
define('DB_PORT', '3306');                            // Your MySQL port (default is 3306)
define('DB_PREFIX', 'teampass_');                     // Prefix to identify used tables
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysqli');                          // Database type (mysqli, sqlite, oci, etc.)
define('DB_USER', 'teampass_user');                   // Database user
define('DB_PASS', 'my_teampass_password'); // Database password

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Set Permissions

We need to grant read and write permissions to Apache or Nginx web server to access the Teampass files. Use the following commands to set the correct permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/TeamPass-master/

Step 6: Access Teampass

Now you can access Teampass by opening a web browser and visiting http://your_server_ip/TeamPass-master.

If you followed the above steps correctly, you should be redirected to the Teampass installation page, where you can create a new administrator account and configure Teampass settings.
