Password Pusher (pwpush)

A cool tool (both commercial and self-hosted versions) for securely transfering text and files and URLs.

Install

The docs section is outstanding and offers several ways to host/install pwpush. Here's the route I went:

Follow the instructions to download the docker-compose-pwpush.yml and Caddyfile to a directory.
Edit the Caddyfile to include your domain/subdomain.

warning

The Caddyfile has a default email of like user@domain.com or something like that. Change that or the LetsEncrypt setup will fail!

Follow these instructions to get signups to work properly - the docs specifically state "All of the following environments need to be set (except SMTP authentication if none) for application logins to function properly."

Here's a sanitized version of my file that got me going. Once I got pwpush stood up and established my admin account, I shutdown the docker, disabled signups with PWP__DISABLE_SIGNUPS: enable and then started pwpush again.

version: '2.1'
