In this video, I am taking a look at the Raspberry Pi MYSQL & PHPMyAdmin. These are both very useful when it comes to storing & modifying data.
Full Tutorial: pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-mysql-phpmyadmin
If you have already seen my video on the Raspberry Pi Web Server you will notice, I don’t show you how to setup PHPMyAdmin. If you have just come from that tutorial, you can skip ahead to 2:20 and this will show you how to install it.
For those who just want a Raspberry Pi MYSQL server then this video is perfect. We first setup the MYSQL server and then you can optionally setup PHPMyAdmin if you don’t want to use the command line.
If you’re into Web, then you have probably familiar with MYSQL. If you’re completely new, then this is a great way to get learning. You can easily install MYSQL and start playing around with it on the Raspberry Pi. There are plenty of great tutorials around to introduce you to the SQL statements and much more. I would recommend taking a look at w3schools.
PhpMyAdmin is a web interface for administrating MYSQL databases. This is a really easy way to create, edit and delete data. You don’t need to know any SQL to be able to start altering data however I would strongly recommend learning it. This tool is free to use and is used in a lot of modern web server setups. The Raspberry Pi PhpMyAdmin again is a great way to learn lots on how this interface works and what you can do with it.
I hope this Raspberry Pi MYSQL & PhpMyAdmin tutorial helps you get a working system up and going. If you come across a bit of trouble getting it to work, realised I missed a step or just want to leave feedback then feel free to drop me a comment below.

In this video I go through the process of setting up Raspberry Pi cayenne. This is a software package for the Pi that helps you create IoT projects fast thanks to an easy to use drag & drop interface. I also go through the steps of setting up a temperature sensor and an LED.

Installing MyDevices cayenne is a relatively straightforward process. All you need to do is make sure you have Raspbian installed and then sign up for an account at their website. Once signed up you can install it via the app or by copying a couple of command lines into the terminal for your Pi.
Adding sensors is also just as easy as installing the software. The hardest part will be connecting up the devices to the Pi correctly. For this I recommend looking at the tutorials that covers sensors, input & output devices. I have covered a few on my channel that you should take a look at if you’re interested.
Triggers & events within cayenne are a way you can have your Pi react to certain situations. In the video I show an example of sending an email and turning an LED on whenever my temperature sensor got to a certain temperature.
If you’re not a coder, then this will probably interest you as it is pretty much drag and drop as I mentioned above. You can create some amazing projects from using if then statements. On top of this time based events will allow you to have your Pi perform certain tasks at specific times. I really do just scrape on the basics in this video and will be looking at doing more projects in the very near future.
I hope this video has been able to help you with getting started with Raspberry pi cayenne.
