Adminer
Adminer[dead link 2024-10-12 ⓘ] is a web-based database management tool written in PHP. It is possible to manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3, MS SQL, Oracle database and Elasticsearch.
It is a simpler alternative to PhpMyAdmin. You can find more pieces of information about this project at the official page or at Wikipedia.
Installation
Install the adminerAUR package or download Adminer[dead link 2024-10-12 ⓘ] and place it manually in the document-root instead.
When using the adminerAUR package, Adminer will be installed as /usr/share/webapps/adminer/index.php.
Ensure the correct extensions in /etc/php/php.ini are uncommented, e.g. extension=pdo_mysql should provide MySQL database management.
Configuration
Apache
Add the following line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Include conf/extra/httpd-adminer.conf
Then restart your Apache HTTP Server daemon.
Adminer can now be accessed by browsing to http://localhost/adminer.
Nginx
Create a server entry using /usr/share/webapps/adminer as root:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/adminer.conf
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name adminer.domain;
root /usr/share/webapps/adminer;
# Only allow certain IPs
#allow 192.168.1.0/24;
#deny all;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
error_page 404 /index.php;
# PHP configuration
location ~ \.php$ {
...
}
}
Symlink adminer.conf to sites-enabled and restart nginx.
Hiawatha
Ensure that the PHP FastCGI interface is configured correctly.
Then add the following VirtualHost block to your /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf.
/etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
VirtualHost {
# If you set WebsiteRoot to /usr/share/webapps/adminer you do not need followsymlinks
# I symlinked the adminer folder to '/srv/http/adminer' so that I can easily remember where it's located but
# still set 'WebsiteRoot' to the real source directory. You could point WebsiteRoot to the
# symlinked directory, but you will have to set 'FollowSymlinks = yes' for that to function properly
Hostname = db.domainname.dom
#FollowSymlinks = yes
#WebsiteRoot = /srv/http/adminer
WebsiteRoot = /usr/share/webapps/adminer
AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/adminer/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/adminer/error.log
StartFile = index.php
UseFastCGI = PHP7
}
Then restart the hiawatha.service.
