Database Tools (DbGate, pgAdmin, phpMyAdmin)
QuickStack provides built-in GUI tools for accessing and managing databases. They are deployed as separate containers in your project and can be enabled/disabled on demand.
Enabling a database tool
- Open your database application.
- Go to the Credentials tab.
- Locate the Database Access card.
- Toggle the switch for the desired tool (e.g. DbGate).
- Wait a few moments for the tool container to start.
- Click Open and use the displayed credentials to log in.
Available tools
| Tool | Databases | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DbGate | All (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB) | Recommended; modern browser-based manager |
| pgAdmin | PostgreSQL only | Most feature-rich PostgreSQL admin tool |
| phpMyAdmin | MySQL, MariaDB only | Classic web-based MySQL/MariaDB manager |
Security
Disable when not in use
These tools are publicly accessible (via a domain). Disable the tool once you're done to remove the deployment, saving resources and reducing attack surface.
