Note that since phpMyAdmin has been accepted in to the official DockerHub repository, you can use either that or this older phpMyAdmin repository for your Docker installation. This is maintained as a courtesy to users who have not migrated.
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 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 theroot
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
, andfpm-alpine
are always the most recent released version- Major versions, such as
5
,5-fpm
, and5-fpm-alpine
- Specific minor versions, such as
5.0
,5.0-fpm
, and5-fpm-alpine
- Specific patch versions, such as
5.0.0
,5.0.0-fpm
, and5.0.0-fpm-alpine
. Note that, on rare occasion, there may be an intermediary "docker-only" release, such as 4.9.2-1
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 separate 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 separate 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 the 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 the environment 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 the arbitrary server option - allowing you to specify any MySQL/MariaDB server on the login page.
version: '3.1'
services:
db:
image: mariadb:10.3
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: notSecureChangeMe
phpmyadmin:
image: phpmyadmin
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:80
environment:
- PMA_ARBITRARY=1
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
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:
- 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 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_USER
andPMA_PASSWORD
- define username and password to use only with theconfig
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 defaultconfig.inc.php
with the base64 decoded contents of the variablePMA_USER_CONFIG_BASE64
- if set, this option will override the defaultconfig.user.inc.php
with the base64 decoded contents of the variablePMA_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. 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
orpmadb
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 controluserPMA_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 outPMA_QUERYHISTORYMAX
- when set to an integer, controls the number of history items. See documentation. Defaults to25
.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+]
)MEMORY_LIMIT
- if set, will override the memory limit (default 512M) for phpMyAdmin ($cfg['MemoryLimit']) and PHP memory_limit (format as[0-9+](K,M,G)
where K is for Kilobytes, M for Megabytes, G for Gigabytes and 1K = 1024 bytes)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 changeupload_max_filesize
andpost_max_size
values)HIDE_PHP_VERSION
- if defined, this option will hide the PHP version (expose_php = Off
). Set to any value (such asHIDE_PHP_VERSION=true
).APACHE_PORT
- if defined, this option will change the default Apache port from80
in case you want it to run on a different port like an unprivileged port. Set to any port value (such asAPACHE_PORT=8090
)
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
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
MYSQL_PASSWORD
PMA_USER
PMA_PASSWORD
PMA_HOSTS
PMA_HOST
PMA_CONTROLHOST
PMA_CONTROLUSER
PMA_CONTROLPASS
You can run the E2E test suite on a local test environment.
The Requirements are make
, docker
and docker-compose
.
Clone this repository: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/docker.git
And then run this command to start the test suite:
make run-tests
