What is passbolt?

Passbolt is a free and open source password manager that allows team members to store and share credentials securely.

Requirements

• rng-tools or haveged might be required on host machine to speed up entropy generation on containers. This way gpg key creation on passbolt container will be faster.
• mariadb/mysql >= 5.0

Usage

docker-compose

Usage:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose/docker-compose-ce.yaml up

Users are encouraged to use official docker image from the docker hub.

Start passbolt instance

Passbolt requires mysql to be running. The following example use mysql official docker image with the default passbolt credentials.

$ docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<root_password> \
             -e MYSQL_DATABASE=<mariadb_database> \
             -e MYSQL_USER=<mariadb_user> \
             -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=<mariadb_password> \
             mariadb

Then you can start passbolt just by providing the database container's IP address in the DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_HOST environment variable.

$ docker run --name passbolt \
             -p 80:80 \
             -p 443:443 \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_HOST=<mariadb_container_host> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=<mariadb_password> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME=<mariadb_user> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_DATABASE=<mariadb_database> \
             -e APP_FULL_BASE_URL=https://example.com \
             passbolt/passbolt:develop-debian

Once the container is running create your first admin user:

$ docker exec passbolt su -m -c "bin/cake passbolt register_user -u your@email.com -f yourname -l surname -r admin" -s /bin/sh www-data

This registration command will return a single use url required to continue the web browser setup and finish the registration. Your passbolt instance should be available browsing https://example.com

If you encounter a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error when deploying locally, you may need to manually edit the hosts file on your machine so that the passbolt.local domain is resolved to your localhost ip address. On Linux, append the line 127.0.0.1 passbolt.local to your /etc/hosts file.

Configure passbolt

Environment variables reference

Passbolt docker image provides several environment variables to configure different aspects:

For more env variables supported please check default.php and app.default.php

Configuration files

What if you already have a set of gpg keys and custom configuration files for passbolt? It it possible to mount the desired configuration files as volumes.

• /etc/passbolt/app.php
• /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php
• /etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey.asc
• /etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey_private.asc
• /usr/share/php/passbolt/webroot/img/public/images

SSL certificate files

It is also possible to mount a ssl certificate on the following paths:

For image: passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce-non-root

• /etc/passbolt/certs/certificate.crt
• /etc/passbolt/certs/certificate.key

For image: passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce

• /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.crt
• /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.key

Database SSL certificate files

If Database SSL certs provided, you must mount mysql/mariadb specific conf on the following paths:

• /etc/mysql/conf.d # if using mysql
• /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/ #if using mariadb

Example:

[client]
ssl-ca=/etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem
ssl-cert=/etc/mysql/ssl/server-cert.pem
ssl-key=/etc/mysql/ssl/server-key.pem

CLI healthcheck

In order to run the healthcheck from the CLI on the container:

On a root docker image:

$ su -s /bin/bash www-data
$ export PASSBOLT_GPG_SERVER_KEY_FINGERPRINT="$(su -c "gpg --homedir $GNUPGHOME --list-keys --with-colons ${PASSBOLT_KEY_EMAIL:-passbolt@yourdomain.com} |grep fpr |head -1| cut -f10 -d:" -ls /bin/bash www-data)"
$ bin/cake passbolt healthcheck

Non root image:

$ export PASSBOLT_GPG_SERVER_KEY_FINGERPRINT="$(su -c "gpg --homedir $GNUPGHOME --list-keys --with-colons ${PASSBOLT_KEY_EMAIL:-passbolt@yourdomain.com} |grep fpr |head -1| cut -f10 -d:" -ls /bin/bash www-data)"
$ bin/cake passbolt healthcheck

Docker secrets support

As an alternative to passing sensitive information via environment variables, _FILE may be appended to the previously listed environment variables, causing the initialization script to load the values for those variables from files present in the container. In particular, this can be used to load passwords from Docker secrets stored in /run/secrets/<secret_name> files. For example:

$ docker run --name passsbolt -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/db-password -d passbolt/passbolt

Currently, this is only supported for DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD, DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_HOST, DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME, DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_DATABASE

Following the behaviour we use to mount docker secrets as environment variables, it is also posible to mount docker secrets as a file inside the passbolt container. So, for some secret files the user can store them using docker secrets and then inject them into the container with a env variable and the entrypoint script will create a symlink to the proper path.

$ docker run --name passsbolt -e PASSBOLT_SSL_SERVER_CERT_FILE=/run/secrets/ssl-cert -d passbolt/passbolt

This feature is only supported for:

• PASSBOLT_SSL_SERVER_CERT_FILE that points to /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.crt
• PASSBOLT_SSL_SERVER_KEY_FILE that points to /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.key
• PASSBOLT_GPG_SERVER_KEY_PRIVATE_FILE that points to /etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey_private.asc
• PASSBOLT_GPG_SERVER_KEY_PUBLIC_FILE that points to /etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey.asc

Develop on Passbolt

This repository also provides a way to quickly setup Passbolt for development purposes. This way should never be used in production, as this would be unsafe. You can use the docker-compose files under docker-compose/ to spin up Passbolt for production using docker compose. If you would like to setup Passbolt for development purposes, please follow the steps described here.

Run passbolt docker tests
