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.
$ docker run --link some_database:db -p 8080:8080 adminer
Then you can hit http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in your browser.
If you are already running a FastCGI capable web server you might prefer running adminer via FastCGI:
$ docker run --link some_database:db -p 9000:9000 adminer:fastcgi
Then point your web server to port 9000 of the container.
Note: This exposes the FastCGI socket to the Internet. Make sure to add proper firewall rules to prevent a direct access.
This image bundles all official adminer plugins. You can find the list of plugins on GitHub: https://github.com/vrana/adminer/tree/master/plugins.
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' 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' 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/.
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' adminer
To use a custom design you can add a file called /var/www/html/adminer.css.
