KeePass on UT?

bgriffis

I run KeePassXC on my Ubuntu desktop and Win11 laptop, and KeePass2Android on my Pixel 6a. Is there a version of KeePass for Ubuntu Touch? And how would I install it?

I keep a copy of my database on a Raspberry Pi set up for file sharing (Samba - but I could do different methods if needed). Does Ubuntu Touch support Samba CIFS client on the local network? Or would I need to grab the keepass database using a different method?

Sorry for very basic questions. I ran UT on a Nexus 5 a LONG time ago, and thought I'd try again by cheating and buying a phone with UT pre-installed. At this point I really only can turn it on and connect it to my wireless network - I am very out of practice.

@bgriffis check KeePassRX on the Open Store.

And it's an extraordinary piece of work and a valuable tool in my everyday life!
Thank you for that!

@bgriffis said in KeePass on UT?:

I'd use a cable.

Thanks for the info! I installed KeePassRX. I copied over my database file using sftp. Ignorant question - I see how I can copy the url, userid, password in KeePassRX. How do I paste it when I am in the web browser? I'm used to ctrl/c, ctrl/v or in Android just a long press. I opened up a browser but had no idea how to paste the url in.

Replying to myself. Copy works just fine with a long pres.Sorry for asking ignorant questions.

@bgriffis
If your RPI has ssh and shared ssh keys
You could create a cron job that would synchronise the file regularly with a script like this

#!/bin/bash

SERVER="192.168.1.18"
USER="vlad"
REMOTE_FILE="/home/vlad/Documents/KeePass/keepassdb.kdbx"
LOCAL_DEST="/home/phablet/Documents/KeePass/"

echo "rsync in progress..."
rsync -avz -e ssh "$USER@$SERVER:$REMOTE_FILE" "$LOCAL_DEST"

@Vlad-Nirky if syncing this way, it would probably be good to sync the file into the synced folder of the app.

@projectmoon

RTFM...
I wasn't aware of this folder.
Actually, that would be a good idea!

Vlad Nirky

Really good!
Thanks again.

@Vlad-Nirky Thanks - I'll mess around with that later. I do have a cron job rsynching keepass and gnucash files from my Ubuntu desktop to my Raspberry Pi. My Windows 11 laptop runs Ubuntu in WSL. I use rsynch to grab current keepass and gnucash files off the pi. I am rusty on setting up keys, so will need to reread some documentation. But that would solve keepass currency issues pretty quickly.
