Databases

Setup and manage MariaDB, SQLite, phpMyAdmin, and Adminer in Burrow.

Database Management

Burrow features a pre-configured, native database stack to support your local applications.

MariaDB

Burrow runs a native, optimized instance of MariaDB pre-configured for developer use.

  • Host: 127.0.0.1
  • Port: 3306
  • Username: root
  • Password: burrow (can be updated under Settings)
  • Data Directory: %USERPROFILE%\.burrow\data\mysql

When linking a Laravel or WordPress site, Burrow scans the environment file and automatically creates the target database if it does not already exist.

phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is pre-configured and served at http://phpmyadmin.burrow.

  • Access it via the Database tab in the desktop application or navigate directly in your browser.
  • Configured to auto-login using a dedicated control user, removing the login prompt for daily use.

SQLite Support

For lightweight projects, SQLite is supported out of the box.

  • If a project uses database.sqlite (or database/database.sqlite), Burrow detects it automatically.
  • The GUI enables Adminer for the project (served at http://adminer.burrow on port 8081), providing a lightweight SQLite database browser.
