I’ll be demonstrating this on Ubuntu Server 20.04, but the process will be the same on any platform that supports Docker. With this process, you’ll find working with MySQL database container deployments so much easier. I want to walk you through the process of deploying a MySQL container and then connecting a phpMyAdmin container to that database, for easier management.

If you’ve never heard of this tool, it’s a web-based GUI that happens to be the de facto standard UI for MySQL and MariaDB database administration. One way of simplifying the management of your containerized MySQL database deployments is with the help of phpMyadmin. But if your database skills aren’t quite up to that task, how do you make all of this work? If you happen to be a database administrator, you’re probably perfectly at home on the command line.

How to make it easier to manage a containerized database. Now that we’re on the same page, you see the problem. However, what about populating that database with data? Or what about managing the database? You can’t just pull down a docker image, deploy a container with it, and assume it will magically populate with the necessary data for your containerized application. To that end, you might deploy MySQL via a Docker container and then connect another container to the database for data. Without the ability to access data, you might find those containers to be a bit less-than-capable. Databases are a key component of your docker containers.
