phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations on MySQL and MariaDB. Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) can be performed via the user interface, while you still have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.
Run phpMyAdmin with Alpine, Apache and PHP FPM.

All of the following examples will bring you phpMyAdmin on http://localhost:8080 where you can enjoy your happy MySQL and MariaDB administration.
phpMyAdmin connects using your MySQL server credentials. Please check your corresponding database server image for information on the default username and password or how to specify your own custom credentials during installation.
The official MySQL and MariaDB images use the following environment variables to define these:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD - This variable is mandatory and specifies the password that will be set for the root superuser account.MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD - These variables are optional, used in conjunction to create a new user and to set that user's password.The following tags are available:
latest, fpm, and fpm-alpine are always the most recent released version5, 5-fpm, and 5-fpm-alpine5.0, 5.0-fpm, and 5-fpm-alpine5.0.0, 5.0.0-fpm, and 5.0.0-fpm-alpine. Note that, on rare occasion, there may be an intermediary "docker-only" release, such as 4.9.2-1A complete list of tags is available at Docker Hub
We provide three variations:
First you need to run a MySQL or MariaDB server in Docker, and the phpMyAdmin image needs to be linked to the running database container:
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 %%IMAGE%%
You can specify a MySQL host in the PMA_HOST environment variable. You can also use PMA_PORT to specify the port of the server in case it's not the default one:
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d -e PMA_HOST=dbhost -p 8080:80 %%IMAGE%%
You can use arbitrary servers by adding the environment variable PMA_ARBITRARY=1 to the startup command:
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 -p 8080:80 %%IMAGE%%
docker compose and an arbitrary serverThis will run phpMyAdmin with the arbitrary server option - allowing you to specify any MySQL/MariaDB server on the login page.
%%COMPOSE%%
You can add your own custom config.inc.php settings (such as Configuration Storage setup) by creating a file named config.user.inc.php with the various user defined settings in it, and then linking it into the container using:
-v /some/local/directory/config.user.inc.php:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php
On the docker run line like this:
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 -v /some/local/directory/config.user.inc.php:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php %%IMAGE%%
Be sure to have <?php as your first line of the configuration file or the contents will not be detected as PHP code.
Example:
<?php
$cfg['ShowPhpInfo'] = true; // Adds a link to phpinfo() on the home page
See the following links for config file information:
/etc/phpmyadmin/conf.dyou can also consider storing your custom configuration files in the folder /etc/phpmyadmin/conf.d, which is very suitable for managing multiple phpMyAdmin configuration files for different hosts,Then you can create server-1.php, server-2.php, or any file name you want, and store them in the conf.d directory mounted on the host.
On the docker run line like this:
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 -v /some/local/directory/conf.d:/etc/phpmyadmin/conf.d:ro %%IMAGE%%
Set the variable PMA_ABSOLUTE_URI to the fully-qualified path (https://pma.example.net/) where the reverse proxy makes phpMyAdmin available.
In order to keep your sessions active between container updates you will need to mount the /sessions folder.
-v /some/local/directory/sessions:/sessions:rw
Set the variable PMA_SSL to 1 to enable SSL usage from phpMyAdmin to the MySQL server. The default value is 0. The variable PMA_SSLS can be used as a comma seperated sequence of 0 and 1 where multiple hosts are mentioned. Values order must follow the PMA_HOSTS and will be computed accordingly.
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d -e PMA_HOSTS=sslhost -e PMA_SSL=1 -p 8080:80 %%IMAGE%%
docker run --name phpmyadmin -d -e PMA_HOSTS='sslhost,nosslhost' -e PMA_SSLS='1,0' -p 8080:80 %%IMAGE%%
PMA_ARBITRARY - when set to 1 connection to the arbitrary server will be allowedPMA_HOST - define address/host name of the MySQL serverPMA_VERBOSE - define verbose name of the MySQL serverPMA_PORT - define port of the MySQL serverPMA_HOSTS - define comma separated list of address/host names of the MySQL serversPMA_VERBOSES - define comma separated list of verbose names of the MySQL serversPMA_PORTS - define comma separated list of ports of the MySQL serversPMA_SOCKET - define socket file for the MySQL connectionPMA_SOCKETS - define comma separated list of socket files for the MySQL connectionsPMA_SSL_DIR - define the path used for SSL files generated from environement variables, default value is /etc/phpmyadmin/sslPMA_SSL - when set to 1, defines SSL usage for the MySQL connectionPMA_SSLS - comma separated list of 0 and 1 defining SSL usage for the corresponding MySQL connectionsPMA_SSL_VERIFY - when set to 1, enables SSL certificate verification for the MySQL connection.PMA_SSL_VERIFIES - comma-separated list of 0 and 1 to enable or disable SSL certificate verification for multiple MySQL connections.PMA_SSL_CA - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting your CA certificate file as a string inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_SSL_CAS - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting multiple CA certificate files as a comma-separated list of strings inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_SSL_CERT - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting your certificate file as a string inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_SSL_CERTS - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting multiple certificate files as a comma-separated list of strings inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_SSL_KEY - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting your private key file as a string inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_SSL_KEYS - in the context of mutual TLS security, allows setting multiple private key files as a comma-separated list of strings inside the default config.inc.php.PMA_USER and PMA_PASSWORD - define username and password to use only with the config authentication methodPMA_ABSOLUTE_URI - the full URL to phpMyAdmin. Sometimes needed when used in a reverse-proxy configuration. Don't set this unless needed. See documentation.PMA_CONFIG_BASE64 - if set, this option will override the default config.inc.php with the base64 decoded contents of the variablePMA_USER_CONFIG_BASE64 - if set, this option will override the default config.user.inc.php with the base64 decoded contents of the variablePMA_UPLOADDIR - if defined, this option will set the path where files can be saved to be available to import ($cfg['UploadDir'])PMA_SAVEDIR - if defined, this option will set the path where exported files can be saved ($cfg['SaveDir'])PMA_CONTROLHOST - when set, this points to an alternate database host used for storing the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database databasePMA_CONTROLPORT - if set, will override the default port (3306) for connecting to the control host for storing the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database databasePMA_PMADB - define the name of the database to be used for the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database.
