How to Install Password Pusher on NixOS Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Password Pusher on NixOS Latest using the command line terminal.

Password Pusher is an open-source password sharing tool that lets you securely share passwords and other sensitive information with others using a one-time URL that automatically expires after the designated amount of time is up.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following:

  • NixOS Latest installed on your computer
  • Basic knowledge of the Linux command line

Installation Steps

Follow the steps below to install Password Pusher on NixOS Latest:

  1. Open the command line terminal on your computer.

  2. Run the following command to update the package manager:

    sudo nix-channel --update
    
  3. Run the following command to install Password Pusher:

    sudo nix-env -iA cachix -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/install && \
    cachix use password-pusher && \
    sudo nix-env -iA password-pusher -f https://github.com/kaepora/password-pusher/tarball/master
    

    This command installs Cachix, a caching proxy that speeds up the installation process, sets up the cache for the Password Pusher package, and then installs the package itself.

  4. Once the installation is complete, run the following command to start the Password Pusher service:

    sudo systemctl start password-pusher
    

    This command starts the Password Pusher service and enables it to run automatically at startup.

  5. Verify that the service is running properly by checking its status using the following command:

    sudo systemctl status password-pusher
    

    This should display the status of the Password Pusher service and indicate that it is running without any errors.

  6. Finally, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL to access Password Pusher:

    http://localhost:8393/
    

    This should take you to the Password Pusher landing page, where you can create a new password and generate the one-time URL to share it with others.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Password Pusher on NixOS Latest!
