May I ask what is wrong with your archaic setup?
I have exactly the same config and I find it easy and reliable for not asking for a change.
Am I missing some points or what is going on?
It's not archaic.
I didn't mean to make it sound bad, although now that I read it again it sounds bad.
With "archaic" I wanted to refer to the fact that it is not necessarily the most efficient in my opinion, because for example in the case of Nextcloud, to synchronize my Keepass directory with a directory on my phone I need an external app called FolderSync and there is no "Synchronize when detecting changes" option, every time I make a change I must manually synchronize or wait for a scheduled synchronization to take place, and it is not exactly the most efficient, unlike with Bitwarden/Vaultwarden because synchronization is immediate.
And I know that in KeepassDX for example I can directly access my database and load it from there, but every time I make a single change when entering Keepass it says that "I lost connection to the file" (Something like that) and I have to go manually and choose the file again, I would prefer to have my passwords always in sync.
OK got what you mean.
For avoiding the cases you are describing I use several plugins for the keepass (original flavour) so in my desktop it syncs directly with the cloud.
And in my android I use keepass2androd thst is able to open the database from the cloud too.
Regards
Syncthing can realtime monitor a folder that just has the keepass file and automatically update to any other syncthing enabled devices in near realtime.
Additionally it can be set to keep versions of the file so you can have copies of older versions to hand whenever things go wrong.
The only real catch is to not have the keepass db open on 2 devices at the same time as any changes made in one may be overwritten by the other as file locking isn't a thing in this method.
I've used Syncthing and keepass in this way for many many years
I have the exact same setup and it's woking fine, nothing wrong with it.
My only gripe with KeepassXC is that you can't share - or so I thought - a subset of passwords from your keepass database with other people, without sharing the full database and master password. But I just read that it is in fact possible
