From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's a good Google Drive replacement for syncing my Keepass database? (beehaw.org)

I recently switched my desktop to Linux mint. Overall it seems to work well for me. The one exception is that my password manager, Keepass, won't work. I currently use Gdrive to sync the database between devices. It works very well for this purpose. Is there another way I can sync this file as seemlessly as Gdrive? It would to work for an Android phone and Mint PC.

That sync will be resolved by syncthing's logic. It will probably result in lost data.

I would suggest an app that does its own sync logic, like vaultwarden. That way, the client can update the database when it's back online, instead of an external sync replacing the whole database file.

Synching will create a conflict file when this happens. Nothing is lost but a user must look out for these files and merge manually.

KeepassXC has its own merge logic and will happily absorb changes to a file on disk whilst open. However if two offline machines both change a database then you will get a conflict file and will have to ask keepass to merge them.
