Adminer (formerly known as phpMinAdmin) is a full-featured database management tool written in PHP. It is a lightweight alternative to phpMyAdmin and supports a wide range of database systems including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, and MongoDB.
To install Adminer, download the latest version from the official website and upload the adminer.php
file to your web server. You can then access it via your web browser.
wget https://www.adminer.org/latest.php -O adminer.php
Once installed, navigate to the URL where you uploaded adminer.php
in your web browser. You will be prompted to log in with your database credentials. After logging in, you can start managing your databases using the Adminer interface.
For security reasons, it is recommended to restrict access to Adminer by using web server authentication or IP whitelisting. Additionally, you can rename the adminer.php
file to something less predictable.
Adminer is a powerful and flexible tool for database management, making it an excellent choice for Linux server administrators.
