FYI for openSUSE users

Apologies for the delay, but my colleague has now replied on that point here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/626169/#Comment_626169

Ben

thank you for the hint, I was looking for a way to install 1password on opensuse. normally i would just resort to flatpak, but i dont want to lose the connection with the browser.

just one question, as 1pw is such a important program and I dont want to risk its security: can the missing systemd-udev library be a security risk somehow?

The following worked for me on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

sudo rpm --import https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc
sudo zypper ar https://downloads.1password.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64 1password
sudo zypper install 1password


I had to choose to ignore the missing dependency on systemd-udev.

Thank you @Fritz for taking the time to provide feedback and your suggestion to work with openSUSE.

I completely understand it can become a little disruptive to manually deal with RPMs especially with your circumstances, I've passed this along to our dev team so we can look into it further.

If there is anything more we can do in the meantime drop us a line. :)

Hi 1P_Ben ,

Thanks for sharing this tip! Admittedly I'm not an openSUSE user so I'm not familiar with what would normally be desired here.
What could we do that would make the experience better?

One way to do that would be to work with the openSUSE community and see how much work it would be to set up repositories for openSUSE. :) Seeing that the downloadable RPM's work fine on openSUSE I would imagine it would be doable to get it going. (I know: famous last words)

I am also an openSUSE Tumbleweed user and downloading the RPM and installing it on all PC's in the family quickly becomes a drag (family account). Using the snap or flatpak (without working browser extension integration) will not pass the "partner test" as said partner (or son for that matter) will resort to using easy to use, easy to guess passwords as they simply would find having to retype the master password over and over again too much work.

@rcj32 Thank you for your tip. However, it did not work at first try; I needed to install the dnf core-plugins first because otherwise dnf throws an error message that "config-manager" is not a recognized command. After that it worked like a charm, so workable workaround. Thank you! For now I will just implement the workaround on the pc's in the household.

Cheers,
F.

I'm interested in the flatpak which it seems is planned from reading the forums. If they can get browser extension integration working with the sandboxing I'd probably just switch to that.

Savanni did share a snippet here, regarding where we currently stand in regards to browser integration and Flatpak at this current time, just to keep you in the loop on that side of things!

This is likely the space where you're going to want to stay-tuned to, as Flatpak might realistically be the best solution to what you're looking for.

I think ideally there would be a way to install and update 1Password with zypper, either using the Fedora repo which used to work, a dedicated openSUSE repo, or an openSUSE Build Service official/semi-official package. The OBS is kind of like an equivalent of the Arch AUR.

Or if there's not enough interest in providing official support for openSUSE (not sure how many openSUSE or SUSE users you have), I'm interested in the flatpak which it seems is planned from reading the forums. If they can get browser extension integration working with the sandboxing I'd probably just switch to that.
