Passky is a password manager that allows you to securely store and manage your passwords. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Passky on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
First, open the terminal on your NetBSD system and clone the Passky repository from GitHub using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/passky/passky.git
In the terminal, navigate to the Passky directory and build the application using the following command:
$ cd passky/
$ go build
This will create an executable file named passky in the current directory. To install Passky, copy the executable file to the /usr/local/bin directory using the following command:
$ sudo cp passky /usr/local/bin/
You may need to enter your password to complete this command.
Next, create a configuration file for Passky in your home directory by running the following command:
$ passky init
This will create a configuration file named .passky.yaml in your home directory.
To generate a secure password, run the following command:
$ passky generate
This will generate a random password and display it in the terminal.
To add a new password to Passky, use the following command:
$ passky add
This will prompt you to enter the password information, including the website, username, and password.
To retrieve a password from Passky, use the following command:
$ passky get
This will prompt you to enter the website for which you want to retrieve the password.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Passky on your NetBSD system and learned how to generate, add, and retrieve passwords with Passky. Happy password managing!
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!
