Teampass is an open-source password management software that provides secure storage and sharing of login credentials among team members. OpenBSD is a popular open-source operating system known for its strong focus on security. This tutorial aims to guide you through the installation process of Teampass on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation of Teampass on OpenBSD, it is important that you have the following prerequisites:
To download Teampass, you can visit the official Teampass website at https://teampass.net/ and click on the "Download" link. This will take you to the download page where you can select the version of Teampass that you want to download.
Alternatively, you can use a command-line tool such as wget or curl to download Teampass. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
$ wget https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass/archive/master.zip
This command will download the latest version of Teampass in a compressed zip file.
Before installing Teampass, you need to install some dependencies required by the software. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
$ pkg_add php-gd php-mysqli php-pdo_mysql
This command will install the required PHP modules, including GD, MySQLi, and PDO_MySQL.
After downloading Teampass, navigate to the directory where the file was downloaded and unzip it. You can use the following command to unzip the file:
$ unzip master.zip
This command will extract the contents of the zip file to a new directory named TeamPass-master.
Now that you have downloaded and unzipped Teampass, you need to move the Teampass files from the extracted directory to your web server's document root directory. If you are using Apache, the document root directory is typically located at /var/www/htdocs. You can use the following command to move the files:
$ mv TeamPass-master/* /var/www/htdocs/
This command will move all the Teampass files from the extracted directory to your web server's document root directory.
After moving the Teampass files to your web server's document root directory, you need to configure Teampass to connect to your database server. To do this, open the config.php file located in the Teampass directory and edit the following lines:
define('TP_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('TP_DB_NAME', 'teampass');
define('TP_DB_PREFIX', 'tp_');
define('TP_DB_USER', 'teampass_user');
define('TP_DB_PASS', 'password');
Replace localhost with the hostname or IP address of your database server. Replace teampass with the actual name of the database you created for Teampass. Replace teampass_user and password with the actual username and password you created for the Teampass database user.
Save the changes to the config.php file.
For security reasons, you need to set the correct permissions for the Teampass files and directories. Open a terminal and enter the following commands:
$ chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs
$ chmod -R 755 /var/www/htdocs
This command will change the ownership of the Teampass files and directories to the www user and group, and set the correct file permissions.
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL for your Teampass installation. If Teampass is installed on the same system that you are using to access it, you can use the following URL:
http://localhost/
This will open the Teampass login page where you can enter the default administrator username and password:
After logging in, you can create new users, groups, and passwords, and manage access and permissions for your team members.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Teampass on OpenBSD. You can now use Teampass to securely store and share login credentials with your team members.
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!
