How to Install Teampass on Manjaro

Teampass is a web-based Password Manager that allows teams to store and share passwords securely. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Teampass on the Manjaro operating system.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Clone the Teampass Repository

First, you need to clone the Teampass repository to your Manjaro system. Open the terminal and execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass.git

This command will download the Teampass source code from the repository and store it in the "TeamPass" directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the Teampass directory using the following command:

cd TeamPass

Now, install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

composer install

This command installs all the required dependencies for Teampass.

Step 3: Create Teampass Database

Create a new MySQL database for Teampass:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted.

Create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE teampass_db;

Next, create a new MySQL user for Teampass:

CREATE USER 'teampass_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'teampass_password';

Grant permissions to the user for the newly created database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON teampass_db.* TO 'teampass_user'@'localhost';

Flush the MySQL privileges:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit the MySQL console:

EXIT;

Step 4: Configure Teampass

The Teampass configuration file is located in the "/config/" directory. Open the file "config.teampass.php" and change the following configuration parameters:

define('KEY_SALT',      'ChangeMe!');    //change this to a unique salt value
define('DB_USER',       'teampass_user');   //change this to the MySQL user you created
define('DB_PASS',       'teampass_password');   //change this to the MySQL user password you created
define('DB_NAME',       'teampass_db');   //change this to the name of the MySQL database you created

To ensure that Teampass is secure, you need to generate a unique salt value for the "KEY_SALT" configuration parameter. You can use a tool like this to generate a random string.

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache virtual host for Teampass by creating a new ".conf" file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/teampass.conf

Add the following code to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/TeamPass
    ServerName example.com

    <Directory /var/www/html/TeamPass>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/teampass-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/teampass-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Finally, restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Step 6: Access Teampass

Open a web browser and go to "http://localhost/teampass". You will see the Teampass login page.

Use the default administrator credentials to log in:

Username: admin
Password: adminadmin

You can now start using Teampass as your password manager.
