Installing Yopass on OpenBSD

Yopass is a free, open-source tool for securely sharing passwords and other sensitive information. It is designed to be user-friendly and easy to install. Here's how to install it on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools installed on your OpenBSD system:

• Git: You can install Git by running pkg_add git as root on your OpenBSD system.

Install Yopass

1. Clone the Yopass Git repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jhaals/yopass.git

2. Change into the Yopass directory:

cd yopass

3. Install the Yopass dependencies:

pkg_add node
pkg_add npm

4. Install the required Node.js modules:

npm install

5. Start the Yopass server:

npm start

You should now have a Yopass server running on your system!

Configure Yopass

By default, Yopass will listen on port 1337. If you want to change the port or other settings, you can do so by editing the config.js file in the Yopass directory.

vim config.js

From there, you can change the port, database location, encryption settings and more.

Conclusion

That's it! You should now have a Yopass server up and running on your OpenBSD system. Now you can start securely sharing passwords and other sensitive data with your friends and colleagues.

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!
