It would be great if we could import/export databases from the Panel. Currently the easiest/only way to get a DB imported is either by changing firewall and using a local app like TablePlus, or installing PhpMyAdmin to manage the database.

Hi Mike,

For TablePlus, you don't need to change your firewall. Use SSH to connect: https://ploi.io/documentation/database/how-can-i-connect-to-my-mysql-server

We're not going to have an upload form, or download form for security reasons in Ploi itself.

Thanks!
