Yopass is a password sharing platform that ensures secure communication between sender and receiver. In this tutorial, we will be installing Yopass on Manjaro, which is a popular Linux distribution.
Before installing Yopass, you need to ensure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Before we can install Yopass, we need to install some dependencies.
Node.js: You can install Node.js by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Git: Yopass is hosted on GitHub, so we need to install git to clone the repository. Run the following command to install git:
sudo pacman -S git
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now proceed with installing Yopass:
Clone the Yopass repository using git:
git clone https://github.com/jhaals/yopass.git
Change to the Yopass directory:
cd yopass
Install the required packages by running:
npm install
Start the Yopass server:
node app.js
The Yopass server should now be running on your Manjaro system. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:1337/ in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Yopass on Manjaro by installing its dependencies, cloning the repository, installing the required packages, and starting the server. Yopass is now ready to use securely share passwords between authenticated users.
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!
