Question

This is my yaml for the adminer:

kind: Service

  name: adminer-1598029219
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: adminer
    helm.sh/chart: adminer-0.1.5

      targetPort: http
      protocol: TCP
      name: http

    app.kubernetes.io/instance: adminer-1598029219

            value: 
          resources:
            {}
          livenessProbe:
            null
          readinessProbe:
            null

And this my yaml for th mongoDB

kind: Service
metadata:
 name: mongo
 labels:
   name: mongo
   app: mongo
spec:
 ports:
 - port: 27017
   targetPort: 27017
   name: web
 clusterIP: None
 selector:
   role: mongo

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
 name: web
spec:
 selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mongo # has to match .spec.template.metadata.labels
 serviceName: "mongo"
 replicas: 3
 template:
   metadata:
     labels:
       app: mongo
   spec:
     terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 10
     containers:
       - name: mongo
         image: mongo
         command:
           - mongod
           - "--replSet"
           - rs0
           - "--smallfiles"
           - "--noprealloc"
         ports:
           - containerPort: 27017
             name: web
         volumeMounts:
           - name: mongo-persistent-storage
             mountPath: /data/db
 volumeClaimTemplates:
 - metadata:
     name: mongo-persistent-storage
     annotations:
       volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: "fast"
   spec:
     accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
     resources:
       requests:
         storage: 1Gi

So my problem is that i can't log in into mongod becuse i get this from Adminer : Adminer does not support accessing a database without a password. Is there any simple solution to this problem where i can log into my mongod? P.S i run kubernetes

The answer to your question can be found in Adminer's documentation:

Accessing a database without a password

Adminer 4.6.3 and newer does not support accessing a database without a password. The reason is that a forgotten Adminer uploaded on a place accessible by an attacker could have been used to access a database. There are these options:

Set up the database server to require a password. This is possible with all databases except SQLite and SimpleDB.

Use the login-password-less plugin to set up a password required by Adminer but not passed to the database (example).

Use the login-ip plugin to check the IP address and allow an empty password.

Implement the login method to add your custom authentication.
