Passbolt is a self-hosted password manager that offers a secure way to store and manage your passwords. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Passbolt on Manjaro.
Before we proceed with the installation of Passbolt, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First of all, we need to make sure that our system is up to date. Open the terminal and run:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your sudo password when prompted and wait for the system to update.
Next, we need to install some required packages for Passbolt. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S git mariadb php php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-mcrypt php-pgsql php-pear php-redis php-sodium php-tidy php-xml php-zip php-apache imagemagick gnupg
Enter your sudo password when prompted, and the packages will be installed.
Passbolt requires an Apache web server to operate. Run the following command to install Apache:
sudo pacman -S apache
After Apache installation completes, we need to enable and start it with:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
Passbolt stores user and password data in a PostgreSQL database. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
Enable and start PostgreSQL with:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Now that we have installed PostgreSQL, it's time to create a database and user for Passbolt. Open the terminal and run:
sudo -i -u postgres
This will switch to the PostgreSQL user. We can now create a new database and user using the following commands:
psql
CREATE DATABASE passbolt;
CREATE USER passbolt WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE passbolt TO passbolt;
\q
exit
Make sure to replace 'mypassword' with a strong password of your choice.
Passbolt is built using the PHP language and manages its dependencies using a tool called Composer. Run the following command to install Composer:
sudo pacman -S composer
We can now download and install Passbolt using the following commands:
sudo mkdir /var/www/passbolt
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/passbolt
cd /var/www/passbolt
sudo -u http git clone https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt-ce.git .
sudo -u http cp config/.env.default config/.env
sudo -u http composer install --no-dev
sudo -u http bin/cake passbolt install --no-admin
sudo -u http bin/cake passbolt register_user -u <your email> -f <your first name> -l <your last name> -r admin
Make sure to replace <your email>, <your first name>, and <your last name> with your own information.
Passbolt should now be installed and running on your Manjaro system. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost. You should see the Passbolt login page.
