See below to download the step-by-step instructions for installing Passbolt on Linux. It includes all the commands and everything you see in the video.
Introduction to Installing Passbolt on AlmaLinux
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install and configure the Passbolt password manager on AlmaLinux 9. (NOTE: This process also works for CentOS, RHEL, and Rocky Linux as well.)
Passbolt is an open source password manager designed for team collaboration. You can use Passbolt to securely generate, store, manage and monitor your team credentials.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a free, secure, self-hosted password manager that you can use for yourself or with your team.
Passbolt Minimum Recommended Requirements
The recommended minimum server requirements are 2 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores. However, you can install and use Passbolt with as little as 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core.
If you would like Passbolt to send email notifications, then you will need an SMTP server. Also, you’ll need to use NTP to avoid issues with GnuPG authentication.
Why Use Passbolt Instead of LastPass or 1Password?
One of the main advantages of Passbolt over other password managers is that it is open-source. This means that the code is publicly available, which provides transparency, and more importantly, improved security. Also, Passbolt can be self-hosted, which means that you have total control over your data.
Passbolt is Built for Team Collaboration
Another advantage of Passbolt is that it was specifically created with team collaboration in mind, making it a great option for businesses or organizations that need to share sensitive information among multiple team members.
Passbolt Has True End-To-End Encryption
Passbolt also ensures the security of your data by providing end-to-end encryption for all the information stored in its database.
If a hacker were to obtain the raw data stored in Passbolt, end-to-end encryption would prevent them from being able to read or understand the information without the appropriate decryption key. End-to-end encryption encrypts the data on your device before it is transmitted, and then decrypts it only on the device of the intended recipient. This means that even if a hacker intercepts the data, they would not be able to read it without the decryption key.
It’s worth noting that even if a hacker manages to obtain the decryption key, they would still not be able to read the data as Passbolt uses a zero-knowledge architecture, which means that Passbolt never have access to the decryption key, hence it can’t read the data even if it was compromised.
In short, end-to-end encryption adds an extra layer of security by encrypting the data before it is transmitted, making it unreadable to anyone without the appropriate decryption key, even if the data is intercepted by a hacker. This helps to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, such as hacking or data breaches.
