Looking for general frontend for DB app

Hello, I am looking for a FOSS frontend for simple DB app.

Use case:

  • Let's have a simple DB in MySQL
  • I want the user to be able to browse via views
  • Create new inserts via some forms

Does something like that exist?

EDIT: Thanks all for suggestions, looks like what I am looking for is just a regular web app however simple I might think it is, there is near 0% chance I can just grab something off the internet and use it in this case.

Phpmyadmin.

https://www.phpmyadmin.net/

You can also deploy it easily with docker to get it running quick.

Not for OP.

I usually use Adminer instead of phpMyAdmin.

Adminer (formerly phpMinAdmin) is a full-featured database management tool written in PHP. Conversely to phpMyAdmin, it consist of a single file ready to deploy to the target server. Adminer is available for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, Elasticsearch,  MongoDB and others via plugin

I am looking for abstraction layer to hide DB internals. I am not looking for a frontend for DB, but for a "web app" which is only the DB itself. Like I said, I am not even sure something like that exists.

I don't think it does, because anything custom is just a regular web app.

I don't understand - you want a layer to hide database internals but also a web app that "is only the db itself"?

Sounds like a web based spreadsheet. Being able to insert and edit data using friendly web forms but not needing to know SQL commands.

Have a look at Grist or ToolJet or similar tools. I use the first in a very basic way and...it works!

Are you looking for no-code back-end, like Pocketbase or Supabase?

Cloudbeaver is a universal tool for connecting and working with databases. MariaDB, MySQL, Postgres and many more. Multiusersupport and SSH tunnels are possible too. It is the Webversion of DBeaver. The community edition is free and sources are on github.

One day I was looking for something to make add records to db and crezte field, etc. Then I've found Rukodovitel, it's very easy to use and powerfull too, juste have look, you can build apps to manage db with this.

I wouldn't know what to recommend, but... are you looking for a web based thing or a desktop app?
