Adminer 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 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

Note: Ensure that the PHP extension for Apache is properly configured

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

Note: Ensure that the PHP FastCGI interface has been configured correctly.

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`.
