The email page displays all emails that would have been sent, but were caught by the integrated email catch-all functionality.

Third-party tools

phpMyAdmin

is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations on MySQL and MariaDB. Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) can be performed via the user interface, while you still have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.

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, Firebird, SimpleDB, Elasticsearch and MongoDB.

OpcacheGUI

is a clean and responsive interface for Zend OPcache information, showing statistics, settings and cached files, and providing a real-time update for the information (using jQuery and React).

Settings

Password protect the intranet

If you share your projects over a LAN, but do not want anybody to view the Devilbox intranet, you can also password protect it.

In order to do so, have a look at the following .env variables:

  • env_devilbox_ui_protect
  • env_devilbox_ui_password

Disable the intranet

If you want a more production-like setup, you can also fully disable the Devilbox intranet. This is achieved internally by removing the default virtual host which serves the intranet. When the intranet is disabled, there is no way to access it.

In order to do so, have a look at the following .env variable:

  • env_devilbox_ui_enable
