What is Keeweasel?
==================
Keeweasel is a Perl script to synchronize passwords between Firefox/Iceweasel
and KeePassX. The idea is to put the KeePassX database somewhere into the
Cloud™ and have your passwords synchronized everywhere, even on your Android
phone.
Installation
============
Linux
-----
You will need a working C compiler, the development packages for libnss3 and
libnspr4 and the Perl modules Inline::C and File::KeePass. For Debian
systems:
# apt-get install libnss3-dev libnspr4-dev libinline-perl dh-make-perl
# dh-make-perl --install --cpan File::KeePass
Windows
-------
You will also need a working C compiler and Inline::C and File::KeePass,
you don't need the NSS and NSPR headers though. The easiest way to get
Keeweasel running is:
- Grab a cup of tea. The installation will take a couple of minutes.
- Install Strawberry Perl from http://strawberryperl.com/ - this also
includes a C compiler. If the installer crashes, just ignore it.
- Start a CPAN shell by running the command "cpan" inside a cmd window.
- Type
force install File::KeePass Inline::C
into the CPAN shell. Ignore the failed tests of File::KeePass (Keeweasel
will work around them) and answer the questions asked with the enter key.
Usage
=====
perl keeweasel.pl [arguments]
Arguments are, currently (they are subject to change):
-p <profile>
The Firefox profile to use. This can either be the name of a profile
or a path to a profile directory. If omitted, Keeweasel will try to
find a default profile (but I would not rely on Keeweasel guessing right).
-k <keepass database>
Path to the KeePassX database (i.e. the *.kdb file). This is mandatory.
-d <default group>
The name of the group where items new to KeePassX are to be stored. If
omitted the first group found is used.
