# Optional: Adminer proxy {% hint style="info" %} You can access Adminer locally at the relevant port - this will most likely be enough and you don't need to expose it. If you are hosting on a VPS or do not have LAN access to the machine, you will need to set up the proxy to use it. {% endhint %} ## If you do need to expose it, Add the following lines to your .env file and restart your pull your docker compose config ``` ADMINER_PROXY=true ADMINER_SUBDOMAIN=db ADMINER_POLICY=default_tld ``` Your Adminer instance will be available at db.yourdomain.com. Deleting the `ADMINER_PROXY=true` variable from your env and pulling your compose will remove the proxy. {% hint style="danger" %} Please test and ensure that the link is secure, as you may exposing your database, without authentication, to the internet {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
