The README describes it as a real-time analytics interface for MySQL, MariaDB, and ProxySQL and documents both interactive TUI operation and daemon-mode recording. By the 6.x series, Dolphie had grown beyond a top-like process viewer into a broader troubleshooting tool: dashboard panels, process lists, replication, metadata locks, statement summaries, ProxySQL panels, record-and-replay, daemon capture, host cache files, tab setup files, and Textual-based UI behavior. ### Adoption history Dolphie's distribution remains more focused than older database CLIs, but it has official installation routes through PyPI, Homebrew, and Docker. Its appeal is concentrated among MySQL/MariaDB/ProxySQL operators who want a terminal-native monitor without deploying a full web observability stack. ### How it is used Users run dolphie against a MySQL or ProxySQL URI, command-line credentials, MySQL option files, login paths, environment variables, or Dolphie config files. The README documents precedence across command-line options, credential profiles, environment variables, Dolphie config, ~/.mylogin.cnf, and ~/.my.cnf. ### Why package nerds care Dolphie is notable because it packages modern Python TUI ergonomics into the old 'top for databases' niche. It also treats replay and daemon capture as first-class package features, which makes it useful for incident reconstruction rather than only live observation. ### Timeline - 2022: Repository created and 1.0.0 released. - 2025: Project already shipping mature 6.x releases. - 2026: 6.15.0 released, with repository activity continuing into June. ### Related projects - Dolphie sits near tools such as mytop, innotop, PMM-style database monitoring, and ProxySQL admin tooling, while using a modern TUI approach and explicit MySQL/MariaDB/ProxySQL support. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for dolphie.
