This tutorial assumes you have already installed LocalXpose & logged in (see & ), also you have installed and setup openssh-server.

1. Reserve an endpoint with custom port

The command below will reserve an endpoint with custom port 2222 and region set to Asia Pacific.

$ loclx endpoint reserve --port 2222 --region ap

If port '2222' is already reserved, you can use any other port.

2. Create a Systemd Unit file

To keep LocalXpose running in background during boot we create a localxposessh.service unit file.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/localxposessh.service

and paste the following and save the file.

[Unit]
Description=LocalXpose Service to expose SSH port
After=network-online.target ssh.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/pi/loclx tunnel tcp --reserved-endpoint ap-1.loclx.io:2222 --to 22
Restart=always
RestartSec=15

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Make sure to replace 'ap-1.loclx.io:2222' with your reserved endpoint.

3. Reload systemd daemon & enable service to start on boot.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable localxposessh.service

4. Start SSH service & LocalXpose password service

sudo systemctl start ssh.service && sudo systemctl start localxposessh.service

5. Add CNAME record for your custom domain (Optional)

If you want to use custom domain name as endpoint, you will need to add a CNAME record similar to following screenshot.

6. Time to use KeePass

In this tutorial we used keepass2 v2.4 with plugin SftpSync enabled.

Open KeePass. Click on File > Open > Open URL.

Enter your URL along with path to your keepass database file. Also, provide your ssh authentication.

sftp: protocol (FTP over SSH)

password.xtestgo.xyz:2222 = Our custom domain name & Port ( use endpoint if you don't have domain)

/home/pi/.keepass/my_pass.kdbx = Absolute path to our keepass database file.

User name & Password = Your ssh credentials ( not keepass master password )

Once your database opens, enter your master key.

There you have it,

7. Open, Edit, Save.

You can now Edit & Save your keepass database. Your changes will be saved to your remote machine.

You can open the same URL in any keepass compatible application including one avaliable for , & .
