Vaultwarden is an open-source password manager, formerly known as Bitwarden_rs. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Vaultwarden on OpenSUSE Latest. The installation is relatively easy if you follow the instructions below.
Before proceeding with the installation of Vaultwarden, we need to install some dependencies on our system. These dependencies are necessary for the successful running of Vaultwarden. Use the following command to install them:
sudo zypper install git curl make gcc openssl-devel pkg-config
Vaultwarden is written in the Rust programming language. Therefore, we need to install Rust to compile Vaultwarden. For Rust installation, visit the Rust installation page and follow the instructions based on your system's architecture. Here is an example of installing Rust for OpenSUSE:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
After installing Rust, make sure you add it to your system PATH. To do that, execute the following command:
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Now, it's time to download the Vaultwarden repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden.git
Once the download is completed, navigate to the downloaded directory by running the following command:
cd vaultwarden/
Finally, we can now build and install Vaultwarden using Rust's package manager, Cargo. This process may take some time, depending on your internet speed.
cargo build --features sqlite --release
After successful compilation, you can now proceed with installing Vaultwarden by running the following command:
sudo cp ./target/release/vaultwarden /usr/local/bin
Before running Vaultwarden, we need to create a configuration file for it. Copy the configuration template to the configuration file.
cp .env.template .env
Now, modify the .env configuration file by adding your server's details and other necessary settings. Here is an example of configuration values you can add:
DATABASE_URL=/var/lib/vaultwarden/vaultwarden.db
ROCKET_PORT=8080
WEB_VAULT_ENABLED=true
WEB_VAULT_PORT=80
SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true
ADMIN_TOKEN=MyAdminToken
SIGNUPS_VERIFY=true
Once you have modified the configuration file to your preference, it's time to run Vaultwarden by executing the following command:
./target/release/vaultwarden
You should now be able to access the Vaultwarden web interface by navigating to http://localhost/ on your web browser.
You have successfully installed Vaultwarden on your OpenSUSE Latest server. Now you can use it as your password manager to store and manage your passwords securely. If you encounter any problems during the installation process, feel free to ask for assistance from the Vaultwarden community.
