GitHub - XtremXpert/docker-phpmyadmin: Docker container for phpMyAdmin

XtremXpert Alternative phpMyAdmin Docker image

Based on the official phpmyamdin:phpmyadmin but:

  • change alpine to latest (not sure of any impact)
  • add ENV var for localisation
  • add ntp
  • add mc, nano and set TERM (ease of use)

Run phpMyAdmin with Alpine and PHP built in web server.

All following examples will bring you phpMyAdmin on http://localhost:8080 where you can enjoy your happy MySQL administration.

Usage with linked server

First you need to run MySQL or MariaDB server in Docker, and this image need link a running mysql instance container:

docker run --name myadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:8080 XtremXpert/docker-phpmyadmin

Usage with external server

You can specify MySQL host in the PMA_HOST environment variable. You can also use PMA_PORT to specify port of the server in case it's not the default one:

docker run --name myadmin -d -e PMA_HOST=dbhost -p 8080:8080 XtremXpert/docker-phpmyadmin

Usage with arbitrary server

You can use arbitrary servers by adding ENV variable PMA_ARBITRARY=1 to the startup command:

docker run --name myadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:8080 -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 XtremXpert/docker-phpmyadmin

Usage with docker-compose and arbitrary server

This will run phpMyAdmin with arbitrary server - allowing you to specify MySQL/MariaDB server on login page.

Using the docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/phpmyadmin/docker
