PassIt is a self-hosted password manager that can be used to store, organize and share passwords securely. In this tutorial, we will explain how you can install PassIt on OpenSUSE latest version.
The first step is to update your system to ensure that all packages are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo zypper update
PassIt requires some packages to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command:
sudo zypper install python3 python3-pip python3-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel gcc
Now we will install PassIt using pip:
sudo pip3 install passit
Create a new directory for your PassIt data.
sudo mkdir /etc/passit
Create a configuration file for PassIt.
sudo nano /etc/passit/passit.conf
Add the following configuration block to the passit.conf file.
[passit]
secret_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
debug = True
database_uri = sqlite:////etc/passit/passit.db
Set the secret_key value to a random string of your choice. Next, uncomment the following line to generate a random secret_key:
from passlib.utils import generate_password
print(generate_password())
Initialize the PassIt database with the following command:
sudo passit initdb
You will be prompted for an admin email and password. Enter them as prompted.
Finally, we can start the PassIt server by running the following command:
sudo passit runserver --host=0.0.0.0
You can access PassIt by pointing your web browser to http://SERVER_IP:5000/ where SERVER_IP is the IP address of your server.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install and configure PassIt on OpenSUSE latest. You can now use PassIt to store and organize 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!
