## Installation
- [Precompiled binaries](https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb/releases) for supported operating systems are available.
- [More installation options](https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb/wiki/Installation)
## Usage
Start server:
```
pgweb
```
You can also provide connection flags:
```
pgweb --host localhost --user myuser --db mydb
```
Connection URL scheme is also supported:
```
pgweb --url postgres://user:password@host:port/database?sslmode=[mode]
pgweb --url "postgres:///database?host=/absolute/path/to/unix/socket/dir"
```
### Multiple database sessions
To enable multiple database sessions in pgweb, start the server with:
```
pgweb --sessions
```
Or set environment variable:
```
PGWEB_SESSIONS=1 pgweb
```
## Testing
Before running tests, make sure you have PostgreSQL server running on `localhost:5432`
interface. Also, you must have `postgres` user that could create new databases
in your local environment. Pgweb server should not be running at the same time.
Execute test suite:
```
make test
```
If you're using Docker locally, you might also run pgweb test suite against
all supported PostgreSQL version with a single command:
```
make test-all
```
