Google datastore emulator web console

Question

I'm running a local stand-alone datastore emulator using the gcloud tool:

$ gcloud beta emulators datastore start

It works fine, but I'm missing the integrated /_ah/admin page the old appengine dev server offers. Is there something comparable for this emulator? A stand-alone project that just acts like a phpmyadmin, or a trick to reuse the appengine dev server's GUI; I'm fine with either.

Hey we wrote github.com/streamrail/dsui at Streamrail. This is a very basic UI for datastore emulator (read only) It also includes a search by Id and Name properties due to the way we define models. So, it might not fit everyone's needs perfectly, but it's worth a shot. – Ppm

To use /_ah/admin, see https://mcmap.net/q/585846/-cannot-view-data-from-gcp-datastore-firestore-in-browser-when-using-emulator – Rendition

@Rendition see github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-datastore/issues/… as for why this apparently doesn't work. – Redpoll

Answer 1

Currently there is no GUI available to view/manage the data created through the Emulator. There is an open enhancement request for this at - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-datastore/issues/148.

Maybe in 2017 you couldn't, but you can now: https://mcmap.net/q/585846/-cannot-view-data-from-gcp-datastore-firestore-in-browser-when-using-emulator – Rendition

Try Google Cloud GUI written by Gabriel Axel at https://github.com/GabiAxel/google-cloud-gui. It works pretty well.
