The Problem with Cloud Database Tools

Every cloud tool is another place your credentials live. Another potential breach point.

Credentials in the Cloud

Cloud database tools store your credentials on their servers. One breach, and your production database is exposed.

They See Everything

Cloud tools can see your queries, your schema, your data. Even if they promise not to look, the access exists.

Compliance Nightmares

GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2—using cloud tools means adding another data processor to your compliance documentation.

Vendor Lock-in

Cloud tools can change pricing, terms, or shut down. Self-hosted means you control your tools forever.

Deploy on Your Infrastructure

QueryGlow is packaged for Docker. Build from source and run on any VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, your office server) or locally on your laptop.

# docker-compose.yml
services:
  queryglow:
    build: .  # Build from source
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - SESSION_SECRET=${SESSION_SECRET}
      - DATA_DIR=/app/data
    volumes:
      - queryglow-data:/app/data

volumes:
  queryglow-data:

5 minutes from git clone to running instance. No complicated setup.

  • Private Network Access

    Connect to databases inside your VPC without opening public ports. QueryGlow runs inside your firewall.

  • Zero "Phone Home"

    We don't track your queries. We don't see your schema. Everything stays on your machine.

  • Works Offline

    Air-gapped environment? No problem. QueryGlow works fully offline (AI features need API access).

Security Built In

Self-hosted is just the start. QueryGlow has multiple layers of protection.

AES-256-GCM Encryption

All database credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Even with server access, passwords are unreadable without the key.

Safe Mode

Blocks DROP DATABASE (always), prevents DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE, auto-limits SELECT to 1000 rows. On by default.

SSH Tunnels Built-In

Connect to databases behind firewalls without exposing ports. Paste your private key directly—ephemeral ports for security.

AI Privacy Guarantee

When using AI SQL generation, only your schema (table/column names) is sent. Your actual row data never leaves your server.

Zero Telemetry

No analytics, no tracking, no "phone home." QueryGlow doesn't know when you use it, what you query, or who your users are.

Your API Keys

AI features use YOUR API keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini). No markup, no middleman, no key sharing.

Built For Privacy-First Teams

Security-Conscious Teams

Companies that can't or won't send database credentials to third-party clouds.

Regulated Industries

Healthcare, finance, government—anywhere compliance requires data control.

Air-Gapped Environments

Networks with no internet access. QueryGlow works fully offline (AI features excepted).

Privacy-First Companies

Organizations that make data privacy a core value, not just a checkbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "self-hosted" actually mean?
Self-hosted means you run QueryGlow on YOUR servers—your VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS), your Kubernetes cluster, your office server, or even your laptop via Docker. Your data never touches our servers or any third-party cloud. You download the source code, build it, and deploy it yourself.
Does QueryGlow send any data to your servers?
No. QueryGlow has zero telemetry, zero tracking, and zero "phone home" behavior. We don't know when you use it, what databases you connect to, what queries you run, or how many users you have. The only external connections are if YOU choose to use AI features with YOUR OWN API keys—and even then, only your schema (table/column names) is sent, never your actual data.
Is QueryGlow GDPR compliant?
QueryGlow's self-hosted architecture is GDPR-friendly by design. Since you host it yourself and no data leaves your infrastructure, you maintain complete control over data processing. There's no data transfer to third parties, no additional data processor agreements needed. Consult your legal team for your specific compliance requirements.
How are database credentials stored?
All database credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption. The encryption key is derived from your SESSION_SECRET environment variable. Even if someone gains access to your QueryGlow server's data directory, they cannot read your database passwords without the encryption key.
Can I run QueryGlow in an air-gapped environment?
Yes. QueryGlow works fully offline once deployed. The only features that require internet are AI SQL generation (which calls your chosen AI provider's API). All other features—browsing, querying, importing, exporting—work without any network connection.
What's the difference between this and cloud database tools?
Cloud tools (like some hosted database UIs) store your credentials on their servers, can see your queries and data, and add another vendor to your compliance documentation. QueryGlow runs entirely on your infrastructure. We never see your data, your credentials, or your queries. You have complete control.
