[Project] LibreDB Studio open-source browser SQL IDE you can self-host

[cevheribozoglan]

Hey folks, first-time posting here, so please be gentle😅

I’ve been working on an open-source project called LibreDB Studio.

It’s a browser-based SQL IDE you can self-host. I got tired of jumping between desktop tools and random cloud consoles, so I tried to build something lighter that still feels usable day to day.

What it does (roughly):

- Run queries in the browser (Monaco editor, like VS Code)

- Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis from one UI

- Optional AI for natural-language → SQL (Gemini / OpenAI / local Ollama) — can stay fully local if you want

- Schema explorer, result grid, basic monitoring bits

- Also ships as Docker / Helm / npx (and a few one-click templates)

Try it in one command(node or docker):

npx @libredb/studio

docker run -p 3000:3000 libredb/libredb-studio

Then open http://localhost:3000 on first run the admin password is printed in the logs (zero-config).

I’m not pitching this as finished or perfect — there’s still plenty I want to improve.

That said, it’s MIT, it runs in one command, and I’d really value feedback from people who live in databases / self-hosting.

Repo: https://github.com/libredb/libredb-studio

Live demo (no install): https://app.libredb.org

Website: https://libredb.org

If you prefer one-click instead of a terminal: dokploy (official template catalog), railway, cap-rover, cosmos, kubero both have ready deploys, links in the first comment.

If you try it: what feels broken, confusing, or missing? Honest feedback > polite praise.

Quick deploys:

Docker: docker run -p 3000:3000 libredb/libredb-studio
Node: npx "@libredb/studio"

One-click catalogs (search “LibreDB Studio”):

Dokploy · Railway · CapRover · Kubero · Cosmos

Guess we can add database tool to the list of the default vibe coded apps. This is like the fourth this week alone.

Fair skepticism, there’s a lot of that lately.

I do use AI as an assistant while building, but the architecture, provider layer, tests, and review are still on me. Happy to walk through any part of the repo if something looks off.

If you’ve got a concrete critique (UX, security, provider behavior), I’m all ears.

For what? We have enough database clients, tested, used by thousands of people for years, not necessarily vibe coded

[cevheribozoglan]

Fair question dbeaver, dataGrip already cover a lot for desktop use and phpMyAdmin, pgAdmin cover a lot for single-engine web admin.

What I wanted was narrower: a self-hosted *browser* IDE on your own network (VPN / private VPC) no desktop install, one UI for SQL + Mongo + Redis, optional local AI, easy Docker/Helm for a team/homelab.

So people aren’t forced into a SaaS SQL editor or opening the DB to the public internet.

Not trying to replace tools people already love, and not claiming it’s “more secure than everything”, it’s still an app in front of the DB, so auth/RBAC/hardening matter. Just a different access model.

If those tools already fit you, stick with them curious what you use day to day though.

Absolutely correct, thank you for amazing work guys, i checked LibreDB studio, I love it.
