Run phpMyAdmin with Alpine, Apache and PHP FPM.

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

phpMyAdmin connects using your MySQL server credentials. Please check the corresponding database server image for information on what the default username and password are. To modify username and password during installation you can check the corresponding database server image on Docker Hub.

The official MySQL and MariaDB 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 version
• Major versions, such as 5, 5-fpm, and 5-fpm-alpine
• Specific minor versions, such as 5.0, 5.0-fpm, and 5-fpm-alpine
• Specific patch versions, such as 5.0.0, 5.0.0-fpm, and 5.0.0-alpine

A complete list of tags is available at Docker Hub

We provide three variations:

• "apache" includes a full Apache webserver with PHP and includes everything needed to work out of the box. This is the default when only a version number is requested.
• "fpm" only starts a PHP FPM container. Use this variant if you already have a seperate webserver. This includes more tools and is therefore a larger image than the "fpm-alpine" variation.
• "fpm-alpine" has a very small footprint. It is based on Alpine Linux and only starts a PHP FPM process. Use this variant if you already have a seperate webserver. If you need more tools that are not available on Alpine Linux, use the fpm image instead.

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 myadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 phpmyadmin

You can specify a 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 8080:80 phpmyadmin

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

docker run --name myadmin -d -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 -p 8080:80 phpmyadmin

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

docker-compose up -d

You can run the E2E tests with the local test environment by running MariaDB/MySQL databases. Adding ENV variable PHPMYADMIN_RUN_TEST=true already added on docker-compose file. Simply run:

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

docker-compose -f docker-compose.testing.yml up phpmyadmin

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 myadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 -v /some/local/directory/config.user.inc.php:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php phpmyadmin

See the following links for config file information. https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/config.html#config https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html

Set the variable PMA_ABSOLUTE_URI to the fully-qualified path (https://pma.example.net/) where the reverse proxy makes phpMyAdmin available.

• PMA_ARBITRARY - when set to 1 connection to the arbitrary server will be allowed
• PMA_HOST - define address/host name of the MySQL server
• PMA_VERBOSE - define verbose name of the MySQL server
• PMA_PORT - define port of the MySQL server
• PMA_HOSTS - define comma separated list of address/host names of the MySQL servers
• PMA_VERBOSES - define comma separated list of verbose names of the MySQL servers
• PMA_PORTS - define comma separated list of ports of the MySQL servers
• PMA_USER and PMA_PASSWORD - define username to use for config authentication method
• PMA_ABSOLUTE_URI - define user-facing URI
• HIDE_PHP_VERSION - if defined, this option will hide the PHP version (expose_php = Off). Set to any value (such as HIDE_PHP_VERSION=true).
• UPLOAD_LIMIT - if set, this option will override the default value for apache and php-fpm (format as [0-9+](K,M,G) default value is 2048K, this will change upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values)
• MAX_EXECUTION_TIME - if set, will override the maximum execution time in seconds (default 600) for phpMyAdmin ($cfg['ExecTimeLimit']) and PHP max_execution_time (format as [0-9+])
• PMA_CONFIG_BASE64 - if set, this option will override the default config.inc.php with the base64 decoded contents of the variable
• PMA_USER_CONFIG_BASE64 - if set, this option will override the default config.user.inc.php with the base64 decoded contents of the variable
• PMA_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_CONTROLHOST - when set, this points to an alternate database host used for storing the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database database
• PMA_CONTROLPORT - if set, will override the default port (3306) for connecting to the control host for storing the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database database
• PMA_PMADB - define the name of the database to be used for the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database. When not set, the advanced features are not enabled by default (they can still potentially be enabled by the user when logging in with the zero conf (zero configuration) feature. Suggested values: phpmyadmin or pmadb
• PMA_CONTROLUSER - define the username for phpMyAdmin to use for advanced features (the controluser)
• PMA_CONTROLPASS - define the password for phpMyAdmin to use with the controluser
• PMA_QUERYHISTORYDB - when set to true, enables storing SQL history to the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage database. When false, history is stored in the browser and is cleared when logging out
• PMA_QUERYHISTORYMAX - when set to an integer, controls the number of history items. See documentation. Defaults to 25.

For usage with Docker secrets, appending _FILE to the PMA_PASSWORD environment variable is allowed (it overrides PMA_PASSWORD if it is set):

docker run --name myadmin -d -e PMA_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/db_password.txt -p 8080:80 phpmyadmin

• PMA_PASSWORD
• MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
• MYSQL_PASSWORD
• PMA_HOSTS
• PMA_HOST
