Installing Teampass on Void Linux

Teampass is a password manager application that allows you to store your passwords and other sensitive information securely. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Teampass on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A Void Linux machine with root access
• A web server (e.g. Apache or Nginx) and PHP installed and configured on the machine

Step 1: Download Teampass

The first step is to download the latest version of Teampass from the official website (https://teampass.net/). On the homepage, click on "Download Teampass" and select the latest version.

Step 2: Extract Teampass

Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where Teampass was downloaded and extract it using the following command:

tar -xvf Teampass-x.xx.x.tar.gz

Replace x.xx.x with the version number you downloaded.

This will create a new directory called teampass.

Step 3: Move Teampass to the web server directory

Next, move the teampass directory to your web server directory. For example, if you're using Apache, move the directory to /var/www/html/teampass.

mv teampass /var/www/html/

Step 4: Change Teampass directory permissions

Change the directory permissions of Teampass to allow read and write access to the web server process by running the following command:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/teampass

Replace www-data with the name of the user that runs your web server.

Step 5: Create a new MySQL database and user for Teampass

Teampass requires a MySQL database to store its data. Log in to your MySQL server and create a new database and user for Teampass using the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE teampass;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON teampass.* TO 'teampass_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace password with a strong password.

Step 6: Configure Teampass

Next, navigate to the Teampass directory in your web browser (e.g. http://localhost/teampass) and follow the on-screen instructions to configure Teampass.

Enter the MySQL database information that you created in step 5, and ensure that all the required dependencies are installed.

Once the installation is complete, you should be able to log in to Teampass using the default username and password (admin/admin).

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Teampass on your Void Linux machine. Teampass is a powerful password manager that can help you keep your passwords and other sensitive information secure. Remember to keep your server and Teampass installation up-to-date to ensure continued security.

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!
