How to install sysPass on OpenSUSE Latest

sysPass is an open-source password manager that is designed to secure passwords and resources with encryption, access control policies, and audit logs. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install sysPass on OpenSUSE latest.

Prerequisites

  • OpenSUSE Latest (In this example, we used OpenSUSE Leap 15.3).
  • Root Access or Non-Root user with sudo privileges.
  • LAMP stack installed (Refer to this tutorial to install LAMP on OpenSUSE)

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before we proceed with the installation of sysPass, we need to ensure that all the required packages are installed. Open the terminal and run the following command to install the necessary packages.

sudo zypper install git apache2 php7 apache2-mod_php7 php7-mysqlnd php7-ldap php7-mbstring php7-dom php7-simplexml php7-xmlreader php7-xmlwriter php7-tokenizer php7-json php7-gd mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server

Step 2: Create a Database

Next, we will create a new database and user for the sysPass. Run the following command to connect MariaDB server.

sudo mysql -u root -p

And run the following command to create a new database, user, and grant all privileges to the user.

CREATE DATABASE dbname;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Make sure to replace dbname, username, and password with your desired names.

Step 3: Download and Install sysPass

Now, Download the sysPass files from the official website using the following command:

mkdir /var/www/html/syspass
cd /var/www/html/syspass
sudo git clone https://github.com/nuxsmin/sysPass.git .

After downloading the files, we need to set the appropriate permissions by running the following commands in the terminal:

sudo chown -R apache:apache .
sudo chmod -R 775 tmp logs upload

Step 4: Configure Apache for sysPass

The next step is to configure Apache to serve sysPass. To do this, create a new virtual host configuration file using an editor of your choice.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/syspass.conf

And add the following configuration to it.

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/syspass
   ServerName yourdomain.com
   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/syspass_error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/syspass_access.log combined
   <Directory "/var/www/html/syspass">
      Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name or IP address.

Once you’ve added the configuration, save and close the file.

Finally, restart the Apache service using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Complete the Installation

Now, you will be able to access the sysPass installation wizard using your web browser by navigating to http://yourdomain.com/install.

  • Select the language.
  • Agree to the terms and conditions, and next.
  • Fill in the database details (database name, username, password). Click next.
  • Fill in the admin details (admin email, password). Click next.
  • Choose your settings if necessary and finish the installation.

Once you’re finished, the installation wizard will provide you with a link to log in to your new sysPass account.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed sysPass on OpenSUSE latest. You can now start using an open-source password manager to store your passwords and secure your resources.
