How to install pass (password store) on EC2?

Question

When I docker login on an ec2 Linux machine I get:

WARNING! Your password will be stored unencrypted in /root/.docker/config.json.
Configure a credential helper to remove this warning. See
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/login/#credentials-store

Per the documentation, installing pass will make this warning go away.

When I run yum install pass on the e2c instance, yum complains No package pass available. I tried sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel prior to looking up the package but it did not help.

How can I install pass on e2c's Amazon Linux 2 AMI instances?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, pass was retired from epel 7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639806)

The latest pass requires Git version >= 1.8.5 and tree version >= 1.7.0 (in my ec2 machine tree is at version 1.6.0).

Of course, you can always install all the requirements by hand: https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/README

There has been some discussion about this (i.e., support centos 7) in the pass list, but not the outcome yet: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/password-store/2019-July/003686.html
