What is MariaDB?

MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), intended to remain free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License.

Pull MariaDB through Command

To download MariaDB through the command line, we need to login to SSH and use the below-given command to download the image.

sudo docker pull mariadb

Credit to Linux Server

Full Credit goes to linuxserver/mariadb
For creating a MariaDB image for Raspberry Pi.

sudo docker pull linuxserver/mariadb

If the first command doesn’t work you can always use the second one.
After the image is successfully downloaded, we can go ahead and start configuring the container.

Docker Compose

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  mariadb:
    image: linuxserver/mariadb
    container_name: mariadb
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=ROOT_ACCESS_PASSWORD
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=USER_DB_NAME #optional
      - MYSQL_USER=MYSQL_USER #optional
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=DATABASE_PASSWORD #optional
      - REMOTE_SQL=http://URL1/your.sql,https://URL2/your.sql #optional
    volumes:
      - path_to_data:/config
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    restart: unless-stopped

MariaDB Container Configuration

First of all, we need to navigate and click on the add container.
Now, we need to type a name and select the image in the next section.
After that, we need to concentrate on 3 things only i.e Volume, Environment, and Restart Policy.

The Default Port for MariaDB is 3306, you can always bind the port with some other port according to our requirement or if the port is already in use.

Click to Zoom

In this section, we need to configure one path for the config folder and bind this folder to our desired path.

Click to Zoom

After that we need to configure Environment Variables as mentioned below in the picture.

Environment variables

TZ
PUID
PGID
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
MYSQL_DATABASE
MYSQL_USER
MYSQL_PASSWORD

Click to Zoom

In this section, we need to select unless stopped.

Click to Zoom

Once all the settings configured correctly we can go ahead and Deploy the container.

What is phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin is a free and open-source administration tool for MySQL and MariaDB. This is the most popular MySQL administration tool to manage databases and widely used in web hosting services.

Command to pull Image

docker pull ebspace/armhf-phpmyadmin

Adding Custom Configuration

You can add your own custom config.inc.php settings by creating a file named “config.user.inc.php” with the various user-defined settings in it, and then linking it into the container using:

docker run --name myadmin -d --link mysql_db_server:db -p 8080:80 -v /local_dir/config.user.inc.php:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php ebspace/armhf-phpmyadmin

Secondly, we need to navigate and click on add container.
Now, we need to type a name and select the image in the next section.
After that, we need to concentrate on 3 things only i.e Volume, Environment, and Restart Policy.

The Default Port for phpMyAdmin is 80, you can always bind the port with some other port according to our requirement or if the port is already in use.

In the section, we need to configure one path for the config folder and bind this folder to our desired path.

After that we need to configure Environment variables as mentioned below in the picture.

Environment variables

PMA_ARBITRARY – when set to 1 connection to the arbitrary server will be allowed
PMA_HOST – define address/hostname of the MySQL server
PMA_VERBOSE – define the verbose name of the MySQL server
PMA_PORT – define port of the MySQL server
PMA_HOSTS – define a comma-separated list of address/hostnames of the MySQL servers
PMA_VERBOSES – define a comma-separated list of verbose names of the MySQL servers
PMA_USER and PMA_PASSWORD – define username to use for the config authentication method
PMA_ABSOLUTE_URI – define user-facing URI

In this section, we need to select unless stopped.

In conclusion

Now, we can go ahead and access our phpMyAdmin on http://omv_ip_address:8085 because we have bound the port 8085 to port 80.
