Psono is a password manager that allows you to store all your passwords in one place with encryption. In this tutorial, we will walk through how to install Psono on NixOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you need to have the following:
The first step is to make sure that the system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the system:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Psono is not available in the NixOS stable channel, so we need to add the NixOS unstable channel to the system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable unstable
sudo nix-channel --update
With the unstable channel added, we can now install Psono. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.psono
After installing Psono, you need to configure it. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo systemctl edit psono
This will open the Psono configuration file in a text editor. Add the following lines to the file:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/psono serve --root-path /var/lib/psono --config-file /etc/psono/config.json
Save and close the file.
Now that we have configured Psono, we can start the service. Run the following command:
sudo systemctl start psono
Psono is now installed and running. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:2112. Login with the default username "admin" and password "psono".
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed and configured Psono on NixOS Latest. Psono is a powerful password manager that can help you keep your passwords secured and organized.
