phpMyAdmin Autoconfig Docker Image

Based on the official phpMyAdmin Docker Image and the great docker-gen tool from Jason Wilder this tool automatically updates the phpMyAdmin configuration when new MySQL containers are started.

This image is meant for development environments and not for production/public servers as it allows passwordless logins to databases!

Starting the image

This image needs the Docker socket to be mounted, in most cases this can be achieved by adding it as a volume with -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro. A full example:

docker run -p 8080:80 -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro elzekool/pma-autoconfig

Connecting and configuring a MySQL container

The full list of environment variables is:

• PMA_USER - Username that is used to connect, defaults to root.
• PMA_PASS - Password that is used to connect, defaults to the value of MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD.
• PMA_VERBOSE - Verbose name of connection.
• PMA_ONLYDB - Visible databases (multiple are possible by separating them with |.

An example to start a MySQL container that will be added to the serverlist:

docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=toor --name testdatabase mysql
