How to Install POMjs on NetBSD

POMjs is a Node.js-based implementation of the Password Manager API, which allows users to store, manage and retrieve passwords from a cloud-based datastore.

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing POMjs on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you'll need to make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Clone the POMjs Repository

First, we need to clone the POMjs repository from GitHub. Open up the terminal and run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/oppetmoln/pomjs.git

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, navigate to the root directory of the cloned repository and install the required dependencies by running:

$ cd pomjs
$ npm install

Step 3: Set Up Configuration

Create a copy of the config-example.json file and save it as config.json.

$ cp config-example.json config.json

Open the config.json file in a text editor and change the serverUrl and customerId fields to your own POMjs server URL and customer ID, respectively. Make sure to save the file when you're finished.

{
  "serverUrl": "https://password.oppetmoln.se/",
  "customerId": "YOUR-CUSTOMER-ID-HERE"
}

Step 4: Start POMjs

Finally, start POMjs by running the following command:

$ node app.js

If everything went smoothly, you should see the message POMjs server is running at http://localhost:9042/ in the terminal.

Conclusion

You have now successfully installed and set up POMjs on your NetBSD system. You can access the POMjs dashboard by visiting http://localhost:9042 in your web browser. From there, you can create, manage and retrieve passwords from your POMjs datastore.

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!
