Try the [live demo](https://demo.whodb.com/) or watch the [video walkthrough](https://youtu.be/hnAQcYYzcLo).\n\n---\n\n### Docker with persistent sessions\n\nThe one-line Docker command is ideal for trying WhoDB. To keep encrypted login sessions when the container is replaced, first generate a key and save it somewhere secure:\n\n```bash\nopenssl rand -hex 32\n```\n\nThen mount `/data` and reuse that key whenever you start the container:\n\n```bash\ndocker run -it -p 8080:8080 \\\n  -v whodb-data:/data \\\n  -e WHODB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_saved_64_character_hex_key \\\n  clidey/whodb\n```\n\nKeep that key somewhere safe. Changing it invalidates existing sessions. If WhoDB is served through an HTTPS reverse proxy, also set `WHODB_SECURE=true` so browsers only send the session cookie over HTTPS.\n\nSee the [documentation](https://docs.whodb.com/) for Docker Compose, connection profiles, SSL, AI providers, and other configuration options.\n\n---\n\n# or install with npm\nnpm install -g @clidey/whodb\n```\n\n\n```bash\nwhodb             # open the terminal UI\nwhodb mcp serve   # start the MCP server\n```\n\nSee the [CLI guide](https://github.com/clidey/whodb/blob/main/cli/README.md) for connection examples and the full command reference.","github_created_at":"2024-06-11T10:10:59+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-15T11:03:48.999393+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T05:13:06.819164+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"data-retrieval","name":"Data & Retrieval","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/data-retrieval","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/data-retrieval.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/data-retrieval"}],"tags":[{"slug":"anthropic","name":"anthropic"},{"slug":"clickhouse","name":"clickhouse"},{"slug":"data-analysis","name":"data-analysis"},{"slug":"data-visualization","name":"data-visualization"},{"slug":"database","name":"database"},{"slug":"elasticsearch","name":"elasticsearch"},{"slug":"explorer","name":"explorer"},{"slug":"golang","name":"golang"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":813564769,"owner_type":"Organization","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-20T05:13:04.743Z","maintenance":{"label":"Very active","score":96,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":14,"days_since_push":0,"last_release_at":"2026-09-18T21:50:08Z","stars_delta_30d":26,"open_issues_delta_30d":12},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-07-15T11:03:50.519Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:13:06.043Z"},"languages":{"value":["go"],"source":"github.language","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:13:06.043Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"Apache-2.0","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-20T05:13:06.043Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":null,"constraints":null,"when_to_use":["Suitable for developers and small teams looking for a free production-grade tool","Ideal for those needing SSO and basic governance at the Starter plan level","Perfect for growing teams requiring classification, quality rules, and cross-system reporting with the Team plan","Best for enterprises demanding full governance and air-gapped deployment options"],"when_not_to_use":["Not recommended if your project is incompatible with Apache-2.0 licensing","Avoid if you require per-seat pricing that Whodb does not offer across any plans","Skipping competitors with more customized AI integrations beyond the support for tools like Ollama, Anthropic, or OpenAI"],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-07-17T10:27:26.433Z"},"constraint_facets":null,"decision_summary":[{"label":"Adopt for","value":"Whodb offers database exploration with AI integration for multiple databases including ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, MariaDB, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3."}]}}
