Adminer is a full-featured database management tool for the web. It is a lightweight alternative to setting up phpMyAdmin. This is a very minimalist docker image that eases setup.

See also online demo.

This docker image is available as an automated build on the docker registry.

The following databases are supported by this docker image:

• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite
• SimpleDB
• ElasticSearch
• MongoDB
• MS SQL

Unsupported databases (TODO) :

• Oracle
• Firebird

The recommended way to run this container looks like this:

$ docker run --link=mysql:mysql -d -p 80:80 dehy/adminer

The above example exposes the Adminer webinterface on port 80, so that you can now browse to http://localhost/

This is a rather common setup following docker's conventions:

• --link={database_container}:{alias} will link a separate database_container (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) to this container, thus make possible to connect to it via adminer with alias hostname
• -d will run a detached instance in the background
• -p {OutsidePort}:80 will bind the webserver to the given outside port
• dehy/adminer the name of this docker image
