Password Manager that supports multiple databases/syncing? (lemmy.world)

I currently use keePass, and use it on both my PC and my phone. I like it because I can keep a copy of my DB on my phone and export it through a few different means. But I can't seem to find an option to actually sync my local DB against a remote one. I've thought about switching to BitWarden but from what I can see it uses a single DB with multiple connections. Is there a password manager that allows ultiple databases (one PC one Phone) with easy syncing between them - specifically from my phone? Or a way to setup keePass to allow syncing with a machine on my home network?

That would be a single DB, no?

If you sync between 2 things, one of those things has to act as the server component, which holds the database, with other things syncing to that database. Otherwise who connects to who?

If you want separate databases, that implies multiple instances, which is something different.

peer to peer is an option too

KeePass will sync multiple databases by keeping the most recent change in any differences between them. It's very convenient when you're making changes to the list on separate devices, but having two copies of the database helps have a redundancy in case of a device failure.
