How to Install Psono on Void Linux

Overview

Psono is an open-source password manager that helps you store your confidential data such as passwords, usernames, and credit card information securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Psono on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of Void Linux
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the command-line interface

Step 1: Update the System

The first step is to update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Psono requires several dependencies to function properly. Use the following command to install them:

sudo xbps-install -S libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libpq-devel libyaml-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel postgresql-libs py3-pip

Step 3: Install Psono

Now that all the required dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the installation of Psono. Run the following command to install Psono:

sudo pip3 install psono-server

Step 4: Configure Psono

After installing Psono, we will now configure it. First, we need to create a database for Psono. Run the following command to do so:

sudo -u postgres createdb psono

Next, we need to create a new user in the PostgreSQL server for Psono. Run the following command to create a user:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P psono

Enter a strong password for the user when prompted.

Now, we need to configure Psono's settings. Run the following command to open Psono's configuration file in your default text editor:

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/psono-server

Find the line that starts with DATABASES, and replace it with the following:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'psono',
        'USER': 'psono',
        'PASSWORD': '<ENTER STRONG PASSWORD HERE>',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

Replace <ENTER STRONG PASSWORD HERE> with the password you set for your PostgreSQL user.

Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Step 5: Start Psono

After configuring Psono, we can finally start it. Run the following command to start the Psono server:

sudo psono-server runserver

Psono should now be accessible through your web browser at http://localhost:8080/.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install and configure Psono on Void Linux. Psono is a powerful password manager that can help you keep your confidential data secure.
