How to Install Passbolt on Fedora Server Latest

Passbolt is a password manager for teams. It is an open-source tool that allows you to securely store and share passwords within your organization. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Passbolt on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation, there are a few prerequisites that you need to meet:

• A user account with sudo privileges.
• A web server (we will be using Apache).
• PHP 7.4 or later.
• MariaDB or MySQL database.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, you need to update your system packages and install the necessary dependencies.

sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y httpd php php-mysqlnd php-gmp php-json php-mbstring php-openssl php-pdo php-curl php-intl php-zip mariadb-server

Step 2: Install Passbolt

Next, you need to download the latest version of Passbolt from the official website. You can download the latest version by running the following command:

wget -O passbolt.zip https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt_api/releases/download/v3.1.0/passbolt-ce-3.1.0.zip

Once the download is complete, unzip the file and move the Passbolt directory to your web server's document root directory (/var/www/html/).

unzip passbolt.zip
sudo mv passbolt /var/www/html/

Step 3: Create a Database for Passbolt

Now, you need to create a database and database user for Passbolt. Log in to the MariaDB shell as the root user:

sudo mysql -u root

Create a new database and grant privileges to a new user:

CREATE DATABASE passbolt_db;
CREATE USER 'passbolt_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON passbolt_db.* TO 'passbolt_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 4: Configure Passbolt

In this step, you need to configure Passbolt. Navigate to the Passbolt directory and copy the config/passbolt.php file to config/passbolt.php.bak.

cd /var/www/html/passbolt
cp config/passbolt.php config/passbolt.php.bak

Edit the config/passbolt.php file using your favorite text editor and change the following configuration options:

'App' => [
    'fullBaseUrl' => 'https://example.com',
    'forceSSL' => true,
],

Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.

'Datasources' => [
    'default' => [
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'port' => null,
        'username' => 'passbolt_user',
        'password' => 'password',
        'database' => 'passbolt_db',
        'ssl_ca' => null,
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'timezone' => 'UTC',
    ],
],

Replace the username and password with the user and password you created in Step 3.

Step 5: Set Permissions

In this step, you need to set the correct permissions for the Passbolt directory.

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/passbolt
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/passbolt

Step 6: Configure Apache

Lastly, you need to configure Apache to serve Passbolt. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/passbolt.conf

Add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/passbolt
    <Directory /var/www/html/passbolt>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/passbolt-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/passbolt-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.

Save and close the file. Restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Access Passbolt

Open a web browser and navigate to http://example.com. You should be redirected to HTTPS and you can now create a new account and start using Passbolt.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Passbolt on Fedora Server Latest.
