How To Access phpMyAdmin Linode?

The free source web application phpMyAdmin offers a GUI for MySQL database administration, providing you with a practical and effective substitute for utilizing the MySQL command line client. Linodes don’t come pre-configured with phpmyadmin, but we can install it by running a command similar to one of the following in the distribution’s package manager:

sudo apt -y install phpmyadmin #Debian/Ubuntu systems

sudo yum -y install phpmyadmin #RedHat/CentOS systems

When the installation is complete, we can access the phpMyAdmin dashboard by going to Linode’s IP address and then typing /phpmyadmin.

It is unsafe to enter the phpMyAdmin login information over an HTTP connection. So we have to enable HTTPS access to the phpMyAdmin dashboard.

How To Access phpMyAdmin Linode?

1. Firstly, Configure the domain’s name servers and add a DNS record using the Linode DNS Manager instructions to point the domain at the phpMyAdmin Linode.

2. Secondly, activate HTTPS using Certbot.

• Use SSH to connect to the Linode.
• Install Certbot for Apache and Python authentication.

  sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache
• Execute the Apache Certbot script.

  sudo certbot --apache
• To create and deploy SSL certificates for the domain, follow the instructions provided by the Certbot script.
• Update the firewall on the Linode to permit HTTPS access.

  sudo ufw allow https

3. Finally, access the phpMyAdmin dashboard.

• Go to the following URL in the browser, swapping out www.example.com for the domain’s address.

  https://www.example.com/phpmyadmin
• At the login page, provide the phpMyAdmin/MySQL Admin User and phpMyAdmin/MySQL Admin Password we chose when we deployed the phpMyAdmin.
• We can now manage the MySQL database by logging into the phpMyAdmin dashboard.
