Free & self-hosted open source high-performance password manager 'Psono' review



There's

1Password as a service that allows teams to manage passwords, but some people may say, 'I don't want to pay ...' or 'I want to host the service myself.' With the open source password manager 'Psono', you can build a high-performance password manager on your own server for free.

This time, Psono is built on the g1-small instance of GCP. The image uses Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Minimal. First, execute the following command to install Docker.

[code] curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh [/ code]



Add the user to the docker group so that the Docker command can be executed by general users.

[code] sudo usermod -aG docker username [/ code]



Next, install docker-compose with the following command.

[code] sudo curl -L 'https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.3/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)' -o / usr / local / bin / docker-compose
sudo chmod + x / usr / local / bin / docker-compose [/ code]



Create a directory to persist PostgreSQL data.

[code] sudo mkdir -p / var / local / docker / postgres [/ code]



Next, we will describe the configuration file of the Psono server.

[code] sudo mkdir -p / var / local / docker / psono
sudo mkdir -p / var / log / psono
sudo vi /var/local.docker/psono/setting.yaml [/ code]



Execute the following command to generate random numbers to be used on the Psono server.

[code] docker run --rm -ti psono / psono-server: latest python3 ./psono/manage.py generateserverkeys [/ code]



The execution result screen looks like this. The red frame is the execution result, and it is described in the setting file as it is.



Described in the configuration file to disable debug mode.

[code] DEBUG: False [/ code]



Set the domain name and URL used by Psono.

[code] ALLOWED_HOSTS: ['*']
ALLOWED_DOMAINS: ['examlpe.com']
HOST_URL:'https://www.example.com/server' [/ code]



Since email is used for account verification, settings for sending email are also required. Since MailHog is used for MTA this time, the container name is specified for 'EMAIL_HOST' and the port number is 1025.

[code] EMAIL_FROM:'[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST:'mailhog'
EMAIL_HOST_USER:'psono'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD:'password'
EMAIL_PORT: 1025
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX:''''
EMAIL_USE_TLS: False
EMAIL_USE_SSL: False
EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE:
EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE:
EMAIL_TIMEOUT: [/ code]



Specify the database to refer to.

[code] DATABASES:
default: default:
'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'
'NAME':'psono'
'USER':' psono'
'PASSWORD':'password'
'HOST':'postgres'
'PORT': '5432' [/ code]



Specify the Psono template.

[code] TEMPLATES: [
{
'BACKEND':'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': ['/ root / psono / templates'],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],,
},
},
] [/ code]



It is possible to implement a cache with Redis and authenticate using YubiKey or LDAP , but for the time being, describe the above settings in 'settings.yaml'.

Next, set Cron on the host side.

[code] sudo vi /etc/cron.d/psono [/ code]



Add the following description to the end.

[code] 30 2 * * * docker run --rm -v /var/local/docker/psono/settings.yaml:/root/.psono_server/settings.yaml -ti psono / psono-server-enterprise: latest python3. /psono/manage.py cleartoken >> /var/log/cron.log 2> & 1 [/ code]


Next, we will introduce a web client to access Psono. First, create a configuration file for the web client with the following command.

[code] sudo mkdir -p / var / local / docker / psono-client
sudo vi /var/local/docker/psono-client/config.json [/ code]



The contents of the configuration file are as follows.

[code] {
'backend_servers': [{
'title': 'Psono.pw',
'url': 'https://www.example.com'
}],
'base_url': 'https://www.charolittle.tk/',
'allow_custom_server': true,
'allow_registration': true,
'allow_lost_password': true,
'disable_download_bar': false,
'authentication_methods': ['AUTHKEY'],
'saml_provider': []
} [/ code]



Create a directory to store the certificate in order to support reverse proxy and HTTPS with Nginx-proxy and Let's encrypt.

[code] sudo mkdir -p / var / local / docker / nginx-proxy / certs [/ code]



Create a 'docker-compose.yaml' file to start the container.

[code] sudo vi /var/local/docker/docker-compose.yaml [/ code]



The contents of docker-compose.yaml are as follows. The volumes_from option shouldn't have been available in version 3 docker-compose.yaml, but it was available in the latest version 1.27.3 at the time of writing.

[code] version: '3'

mailhog:
image: mailhog / mailhog: latest
container_name: mailhog
ports: ports:

After that, execute the following command in '/ var / local / docker' to start the container.

[code] docker-compose up -d [/ code]



Execute the 'docker ps' command, and it is OK if all the containers are started. This completes the setup.

Click the button in the red frame, copy the link and share it with the other party. At the time of writing the article, the subdomain of the sharing link was that of the Psono server, and it was necessary to modify it to the subdomain of the web client.



When you access the link, enter your passphrase and click 'Send' ...



I was able to access my account information.

In addition, although I built the web client myself this time, it is also possible to use the web client officially prepared by Psono. The minimum required to use Psono is 'Psono server' and 'MTA'.
