Install Adminer on Raspberry Pi

Adminer is a lightweight web-based database management tool, similar to phpMyAdmin, written in a single PHP file. Utilizing Adminer on your Raspberry Pi offers an efficient solution for handling various databases, including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, or MongoDB.

Running Adminer on Raspberry Pi through Docker provides the advantage of seamless operation irrespective of the web server in use. This also ensures that updates to PHP on the host system won't disrupt Adminer.

Step 1: Prepare Your Raspberry Pi

Start by ensuring your operating system is up to date with the following commands:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Docker on your Raspberry Pi by following our guide.

Create a directory to store Adminer compose files:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/stacks/adminer

Change to the new directory:

cd /opt/stacks/adminer

Step 2: Write Compose Files for Adminer on Raspberry Pi

Begin writing the Compose file for Adminer. This file instructs Docker on image download and container configuration:

sudo nano docker-compose.yaml

Add the following lines to the file, adjusting the port as needed:

version: '3.1'

services:

adminer:

image: adminer

restart: always

ports:

- 8080:8080

Save and exit by pressing CTRL+X, Y, then ENTER.

Step 3: Start the Adminer Container

Start the Adminer container with:

docker-compose up -d

Step 4: Access the Management Web Interface

Determine your Raspberry Pi's IP address:

hostname -I

Access Adminer's web interface using your Pi's IP address in a web browser:

http://<IPADDRESS>:8080

Replace <IPADDRESS> with your Pi's IP. Log in to the database by specifying database type, server IP, username, password, and optionally, the database name. Click "Login" to access the database.

This guide enables you to seamlessly run Adminer on your Raspberry Pi, offering a straightforward solution for managing databases.
