Hi Phil,

I have run the below steps to install it on the remote server using CLI
on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).

#snap install keepassxc
2020-12-27T04:39:40+05:30 INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart...
keepassxc 2.6.2 from Jonathan White (keepassxreboot) installed

How do I access it from the client-side to add it? Can I access it from the
Web browser?

Best Regards,

Kaushal
