In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Teampass on NixOS Latest. Teampass is a password management system that stores passwords in a secure and organized way. NixOS is a Linux distribution with a focus on declarative configuration and atomic upgrades.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
We will start by updating our system to ensure that we have all the latest software packages installed. To update your system, run the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nixUnstable
This command will update your system to the latest version.
Next, we will install some dependencies required by Teampass. Run the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -i xsel php php-gd php-ldap php-xml php-mbstring postgresql
This command will install the required dependencies.
We will be using PostgreSQL as our database system for Teampass. We will install and configure PostgreSQL before we install Teampass.
Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.postgresql
Next, we need to create a PostgreSQL user and database for Teampass. Run the following commands to create a new user and a new database:
$ sudo -u postgres createuser teampass_user
$ sudo -u postgres createdb teampass_db -O teampass_user
Note: Replace teampass_user
and teampass_db
with your desired names.
After creating the database, we need to configure it to allow connections from Teampass. Edit the PostgreSQL configuration file /etc/postgresql/configuration.nix
:
$ sudo nano /etc/postgresql/configuration.nix
Add the following lines to the file:
{
security.enableLocalTCP = true;
security.localTCP.allowedAddresses = [ "127.0.0.1" ];
users.users.teampass_user = {
isDBA = true;
};
databases."teampass_db" = {
owner = "teampass_user";
allowSQL = true;
enabled = true;
};
}
Save and close the file.
To apply the changes, restart the PostgreSQL service:
$ sudo systemctl restart postgresql
We will now download and install Teampass. Run the following commands to download and install Teampass:
$ sudo mkdir /var/www
$ cd /var/www
$ sudo wget https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass/archive/master.zip
$ sudo unzip master.zip
$ sudo ln -s /var/www/TeamPass-master /var/www/teampass
This will install Teampass in the /var/www/teampass
directory.
We need to configure Teampass to connect to the database we just created.
Edit the Teampass configuration file /var/www/teampass/include/config.php
:
$ sudo nano /var/www/teampass/include/config.php
Update the following lines to match your PostgreSQL configuration:
define('TP_HOST', 'localhost');
define('TP_PORT', '5432');
define('TP_USER', 'teampass_user');
define('TP_PASS', '');
define('TP_DB', 'teampass_db');
Save and close the file.
Next, we need to set the Teampass password. Run the following command:
$ sudo /var/www/teampass/passwords.php
This command will prompt you to set the Teampass password.
We will configure Nginx to serve the Teampass web interface.
Edit the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/default.nix
:
$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/default.nix
Add the following lines to the file:
{
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts."teampass.example.com" = {
locations."/".proxyPass = "http://localhost/teampass/";
};
};
}
Note: Replace teampass.example.com
with your desired domain name.
Save and close the file.
To apply the changes, restart the Nginx service:
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
You can now access Teampass by opening your web browser and navigating to http://teampass.example.com/
. Replace teampass.example.com
with your configured domain name.
You have successfully installed Teampass on NixOS Latest. You can now use Teampass to manage your passwords securely.
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!
