nibrev/phpmyadmin-4.0.x repository overview

⁠OLD phpMyAdmin 4.0.x.x Docker image

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x was EOL April 1, 2017. This image useful for legacy environments with MySQL 5.1

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

⁠Credentials

phpMyAdmin does use MySQL server credential, please check the corresponding server image for information how it is setup.

The official MySQL and MariaDB use 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.

⁠Supported Docker hub tags

The following tags are available:

• latest, 4.0.10.20

⁠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 nibrev/phpmyadmin-4.0.x

⁠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 nibrev/phpmyadmin-4.0.x

⁠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 -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 -p 8080:80 nibrev/phpmyadmin-4.0.x

⁠Adding Custom Configuration

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 nibrev/phpmyadmin-4.0.x

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.
