I'm currently using keepassx2 from epel under CentOS 7.  I'm generally 
happy with it, but I'm not attempting to keep the database synced 
between multiple devices.

Now I see that there is also a keepassxc project.  It looks like that 
might be a better choice.  It would be interesting to hear from someone 
that is using it.
