README

This project provides a login plugin for Adminer to access SQLite databases in Adminer, which is a PHP web application for no-nonsense database administration. The plugin allows you to set a global password for all database types that don't support their own authentication mechanism.

Installing Adminer and this Plugin Using Composer

Pre-requisites:

• PHP
• Composer
• PHP and Composer available in your $PATH environment variable.

Installation:

cd $PROJECTS
composer create-project bkidwell/adminer-sqlite-login
cd adminer-sqlite-login
composer install
php vendor/vrana/adminer/compile.php
php src/AdminerLoginSqlite.php setpassword
# Your password hash will be stored in src/AdminerLoginSqlite.conf.php .

To start Adminer:

cd $ADMINER # the folder where you installed adminer-login-sqlite
# change "8000" to your preferred port
php -d display_errors=1 -S localhost:8000 -t src

Alternative Installation without Using Composer

Pre-requisites:

• PHP
• PHP available in your $PATH environment variable.

Installation:

1. Create a project folder, hereafter referred to as $ADMINER.
2. Get a single-file Adminer build from https://www.adminer.org/en/#download and save it in $ADMINER as adminer.php.
3. Copy plugin.php from the Adminer source code repository to $ADMINER.
4. Copy AdminerSqliteLogin.php from its source code repository to $ADMINER.

5. Create $ADMINER/index.php as follows:

    <?php
    require_once './AdminerLoginSqlite.php';
   
    function adminer_object() {
        require_once './plugin.php';
        return new AdminerPlugin([
            // specify enabled plugins here
            new AdminerLoginSqlite(),
        ]);
    }
   
    require 'adminer.php';
   

6. Set your password:

    cd $ADMINER
    # Your password hash will be stored in AdminerLoginSqlite.conf.php .
    php AdminerLoginSqlite.php setpassword
   

You should have 4 files in $ADMINER now:

• adminer.php
• plugin.php
• AdminerSqliteLogin.php
• index.php

To start Adminer:

cd $ADMINER
# change "8000" to your preferred port
php -d display_errors=1 -S localhost:8000 -t .

Logging in

Don't forget if you need to start with an empty SQLite file, a zero-lenght file is a valid SQLite database:

touch /home/user/databases/project.sqlite3
