⁠Adminer

⁠What is adminer?

Adminer (formerly phpMinAdmin) is a full-featured database management tool written in PHP. Conversely to phpMyAdmin, it consist of a single file ready to deploy to the target server. Adminer is available for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, Firebird, SimpleDB, Elasticsearch and MongoDB.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Standalone

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 finwo/adminer

Then you can hit http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in your browser.

⁠Loading plugins

This image bundles all official Adminer plugins. You can find the list of plugins on GitHub: https://github.com/vrana/adminer/tree/master/plugins⁠. By default, the login-password-less plugin is enabled when entering nopassword in the password field during connecting.

To load plugins you can pass a list of filenames in ADMINER_PLUGINS:

$ docker run --link some_database:db -p 8080:8080 -e ADMINER_PLUGINS='tables-filter tinymce' finwo/adminer

If a plugin requires parameters to work correctly you will need to add a custom file to the container:

$ docker run --link some_database:db -p 8080:8080 -e ADMINER_PLUGINS='login-servers' finwo/adminer
Unable to load plugin file "login-servers", because it has required parameters: servers
Create a file "/var/www/html/plugins-enabled/login-servers.php" with the following contents to load the plugin:

<?php
require_once('plugins/login-servers.php');

/** Set supported servers
    * @param array array($domain) or array($domain => $description) or array($category => array())
    * @param string
    */
return new AdminerLoginServers(
    $servers = ???,
    $driver = 'server'
);

To load a custom plugin you can add PHP scripts that return the instance of the plugin object to /var/www/html/plugins-enabled/.

⁠Choosing a design

The image bundles all the designs that are available in the source package of adminer. You can find the list of designs on GitHub: https://github.com/vrana/adminer/tree/master/designs⁠.

To use a bundled design you can pass its name in ADMINER_DESIGN:

$ docker run --link some_database:db -p 8080:8080 -e ADMINER_DESIGN='nette' finwo/adminer

To use a custom design you can add a file called /var/www/html/adminer.css.

⁠Usage with external server

You can specify the default host with the ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER environment variable. This is useful if you are connecting to an external server or a docker container named something other than the default db.

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER=mysql finwo/adminer

⁠Supported drivers

While Adminer supports a wide range of database drivers this image only supports the following out of the box:

• MySQL

• SQLite
