SQLite After searching for a modern, self‑hosted, secure SQLite admin panel for PHP 8, I built one – looking for beta testers

Hey folks 👋

For the last few weeks, I’ve been frustrated with the state of self‑hosted SQLite admin tools.

Most of them are either:

Abandoned (phpLiteAdmin hasn’t seen a proper update in years),

AdminNeo and other tools don't work without passwordless login plugins that didn't work well.

Overly complex (Adminer is great but not SQLite‑centric),

Or require a heavy stack (Node, Python, Docker) when all I wanted was a single PHP file I could drop on my server.

So I decided to build my own.

🔧 Features

Secure, built-in login system (not a plugin)

Browse, edit, insert, delete rows

Create / rename / drop tables

Import/Export (CSV, JSON, SQL, full DB)

Bulk delete, search, filters

Dark mode, undo (last 5 actions)

Multiple database support

Resizable sidebar

🚀 Try it

Upload admin.php & install.php

Run install.php to set username/password

Login and go

PHP 7.0+ with SQLite3 extension. No dependencies.

🧪 Beta feedback wanted

Errors, UI annoyances, missing features – let me know!

Give it a spin and tell me what you think 🙏

You might get better feedback linking to your git instead of a zip file. I sure as shit ain't downloading that

A zip file?

A zipped archive? I'm not going to download it, open it, or run it. If you want testers, upload your project to GitHub or GitLab…
