Keeweb App
The amazing web-based tool KeeWeb is perhaps one of the better ways to make Keepass databases work for you in a cross-platform environment. The challenge with using this tool, however, is that it’s not exactly the easiest to get running on your own hosting server. Yes, you can just go to app.keeweb.info, but if you want to try hosting it yourself somewhere, it may seem like a real challenge. For that reason, I wanted to offer some thoughts on how you get this thing up and running.
You’ll need to decide two things:

Keeweb is the logical (multi-platform) evolution and modernization of Keepass (and all of its variants), probably the most famous and used FOSS pass-amanger of all-times. Including a nice modern look and many extra features, like unlimited file attachments, photo previews, cloud sync, and many others, Keeweb is nowadays the best totally-free pass-manager, and the only real contender to the.

Everything you need to host this app on your server is any static file server. The app is a single HTML file + a service worker (optionally; for. Thank you for helping translate KeeWeb!

3. Go to that link in a browser. That’s is to begining with. You’ve got it working. Click on the “Demo” button to see what the whole thing looks like! Go ahead and try things out before getting more advanced. make sure this is what you want.
