Official phpMyAdmin Docker image

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 8080:80 phpmyadmin/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 8080:80 phpmyadmin/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 8080:80 -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 phpmyadmin/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

docker-compose up -d

Usage behind reverse proxys

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