How to Install Psono on Ubuntu Server Latest?

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Psono on Ubuntu Server. Psono is a free and open-source password manager that allows you to store and manage your passwords securely. It provides end-to-end encryption for your data so that only you can access it.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you must have the following:

• A server running Ubuntu 20.04 or later.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.
• Access to the command line interface.

Step 1: Update the System

It is always a good practice to start with updating the system. You can do so by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Psono requires several dependencies to be installed on the server. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo apt install -y git mariadb-server mariadb-client python3-pip python3-venv gcc

Step 3: Clone Psono Repository

Next, you need to clone the Psono repository from GitHub. To do so, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/psono/psono-server.git

This will download the Psono repository to your local machine.

Step 4: Set up Virtual Environment

Psono requires a virtual environment to run. Let's set up a virtual environment for Psono by running the following commands:

cd psono-server
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

These commands will create a virtual environment in the "venv" directory and activate it.

Step 5: Install Psono

Now you can install Psono by running the following command:

pip3 install --no-cache-dir .

This command will install Psono and all its dependencies.

Step 6: Configure MariaDB Database

Psono uses a MariaDB database to store its data. Let's create a new database and user for Psono. Run the following commands to log in to the MariaDB database and create a new database and user:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE psonodb;
CREATE USER 'psonouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON psonodb.* TO 'psonouser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace "your_password" with a secure password.

Step 7: Configure Psono

Next, you need to configure Psono to use the MariaDB database. You can do so by running the following command:

psono configure

This command will prompt you to enter the MariaDB database configuration details, such as the database name, database user, and password.

Step 8: Run Psono

Finally, you can start the Psono server by running the following command:

psono runserver

This will start the Psono server on port 8282 by default. You can access the Psono web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to:

http://your_server_ip:8282

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps required to install Psono on Ubuntu Server. By following these steps, you can set up a secure, self-hosted password manager on your server.
