• You can get this for CentOS-7 from the EPEL repo.

• Thanks Richard for the response. I have installed it on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) server. Is there a GUI for it to access it from a network similar to bitwarden (https://bitwarden.com/)? For example http://keepass.example.com. I am going through https://keepass.info/download.html

  Summary : Cross-platform password manager Description :
  KeePassX is an application for people with extremly high demands on secure personal data management. KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords, urls, attachemts and comments in one single database. For a better management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each single entry. Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to search in a single group or the complete database. KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate this feature. The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael)
  or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe for MS Windows.

  I prefer to use the Windows version using Mono:

  keepassx isn’t exactly the same. Some features are missing, but I
  don’t remember which ones exactly.

• I prefer the community fork, KeePassXC, which is more actively maintained with new/updated features regularly added.

  There is no recent RPM package AFAIK but it’s really easy to install the very latest Snap package from here and comes with all the latest encryption (AES 256bit) and key derivation functions (Argon2):

  It’s the first time I’d installed a snap and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was plus updates are automatic. For extra security I then don’t use it to store the full password, but separately add a salt creating a double-blind password for more sensitive uses:

• Thanks Phil for sharing the details.

• Hi Phil,

  I have run the below steps to install it on the remote server using CLI
  on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).

  #snap install keepassxc
  2020-12-27T04:39:40+05:30 INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart… keepassxc 2.6.2 from Jonathan White (keepassxreboot) installed

  How do I access it from the client-side to add it? Can I access it from the Web browser?

  Best Regards,

  Kaushal
