SQLite Browser

Dockman includes a 'built-in' SQLite browser so you can view and edit databases right in the file explorer.

How it works

Under the hood, Dockman uses sqlite-web, a Python-based SQLite GUI by @coleifer. (Go show them some love!)

When you open a .db file:

1. Dockman spins up a container with sqlite-web
2. Mounts your database file
3. Embeds the UI in an iframe

You get a native-looking window just like any other file. Close the tab and the container auto-removes itself.

note

Only files ending in .db are supported at this time

Usage

Just click any .db file in the file explorer and it'll open automatically.

Example: Opening myapp.db to check user records or tweak settings.

warning

Stop any containers using the database first! Editing a DB while it's in use can corrupt your data. You've been warned 😅
