What is Adminer?
Adminer is a database management interface — tables, rows, queries, structure, import and export — delivered as one small PHP file and reachable in a browser.
It covers what most people open a heavyweight admin tool for, in a fraction of the footprint, and supports several database engines rather than just one.
What you get
- Browse and edit tables and rows, with a proper SQL editor
- Supports MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL and more
- Import and export SQL, CSV and TSV
- Manage users, permissions, indexes and foreign keys
Running Adminer on Autogineer Cloud
Adminer is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Adminer is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like adminer-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Adminer, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Adminer means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as Adminer grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
Anyone who needs occasional browser access to a database without installing a desktop client.
Getting started with Adminer
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Adminer. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- A single sign-in form appears asking which engine and which credentials to use. Enter the details of the database you want to manage — Adminer stores nothing itself.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once Adminer is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Adminer and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from phpMyAdmin?
Adminer is far smaller, is a single file, and supports several database engines rather than only MySQL.
Should I leave it exposed on the internet?
Treat it as sensitive. It is a database console: restrict it by IP with the firewall, or stop the server when you are not using it.
How long does it take to install Adminer?
About a minute. Choosing Adminer at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does Adminer need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with Adminer?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — adminer-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
