litexplore

Currently, you need to SSH in and use the sqlite3 CLI on the server. There has been some work in this area but it's all still rough around the edges. I wrote a server called Postlite[1] that exposes remote SQLite databases over the Postgres wire protocol but it's very alpha. :) I'd love to see more work in this area. Ricardo Ander-Egg wrote a remote management tool called litexplore[2] that connects over SSH to the SQLite CLI behind the scenes. I haven't used it but I think there's a lot of potential with that approach. [1]: https://github.com/benbjohnson/postlite [2]: https://github.com/litements/litexplore

Hi! As a big fan of SQLite, I always found the tooling to explore remote databases a bit lacking. Current solutions involve running an extra service in the remote host and exposing a port to access it. I built a small web app that can explore remote SQLite databases without having to run any service on the remote, you just need SSH. It works by sending sqlite3 CLI commands over a multiplexed SSH connection. The commands use the "-json" flag from the sqlite3 CLI. This basically turns the SSH connection into an JSON API for the remote SQLite database. The project is hosted on GitHub[0] and I wrote a blog post with more details about the project and how it works[1]. I'm still exploring multiple ideas and implementations details, but feedback is more than welcome. [0]: https://ricardoanderegg.com/posts/sqlite-remote-explorer-gui/ [1]: https:/
