⁠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
