How to Install sysPass on NetBSD

Introduction

sysPass is an open-source password management system that allows you to store all your passwords and credentials in a secure manner. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install sysPass on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing sysPass, please ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• A NetBSD server with root access
• PHP 7.0 or later
• MariaDB database server
• Apache web server

Step 1: Installing the Dependencies

First, you need to install the required dependencies. To do this, run the following command:

pkgin -y install apache mariadb php php-mysqli php-xml php-mbstring php-curl php-gd

Step 2: Downloading sysPass

You can download the latest version of sysPass from the official website. Go to https://www.syspass.org/ and click on the Download button, then select the latest version.

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

Step 3: Configuring the Database

Create a database for sysPass:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password and then run the following commands to create a new database, a new user, and grant the user full rights to manage the database.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE syspass;
mysql> CREATE USER 'syspass'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspass'@'localhost';

Step 4: Configuring sysPass

In the extracted sysPass directory, you can find a file called config.inc.php.dist. Copy this file and rename it to config.inc.php:

cp /tmp/sysPass-master/config.inc.php.dist /tmp/sysPass-master/config.inc.php

Open this configuration file using your preferred text editor and update the following values:

define('SYSPASS_DB_USER', 'syspass');
define('SYSPASS_DB_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_PASSWORD');
define('SYSPASS_DB_NAME', 'syspass');
define('SYSPASS_DB_TYPE', 'mysqli');
define('SYSPASS_DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Step 5: Installing sysPass

Copy the sysPass directory to your Apache document root directory:

cp -R /tmp/sysPass-master /var/www/htdocs/syspass

Change the ownership of the sysPass directory to the Apache user:

chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/syspass

Step 6: Installing sysPass

Open your web browser and type the following URL in the address bar:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/syspass/

You will be prompted to enter your sysPass username and password. Enter your preferred details and click on the Register button.

Conclusion

sysPass is now installed and ready to use on your NetBSD server. You can now start creating your password database and managing your passwords securely.

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!
