• A sudo user account

Installation Steps

Follow the steps below to install sysPass on Void Linux:

1. Open a terminal window, and update the package repositories:

   sudo xbps-install -S
   

2. Install the dependencies required for sysPass:

   sudo xbps-install -S mariadb mariadb-client nginx php-fpm php-mysqli php-openssl php-curl php-zip php-gd
   

3. Create a new database and user for sysPass:

   mysql> CREATE DATABASE syspass;
   mysql> CREATE USER 'syspass'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspass'@'localhost';
   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   mysql> exit;
   

   Note: Replace the 'password' with a strong password.

4. Download and extract the latest version of sysPass:

   cd /tmp
   wget https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass/archive/v3.0.0.tar.gz
   tar -zxvf v3.0.0.tar.gz
   

5. Copy the extracted files to the web directory:

   sudo cp -r sysPass-3.0.0/* /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
   

6. Update the ownership and permissions of the sysPass files:

   sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
   sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
   

7. Create a new virtual host file for sysPass:

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/syspass.conf
   

   Add the following contents to the file:

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name yourdomain.com; # Replace with your domain name
       root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
       index index.php;
   
       location / {
           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
       }
   
       location ~ \.php$ {
           try_files $uri =404;
           fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
           include fastcgi_params;
       }
   }
   

   Save and close the file.
