Running MySQL and phpMyAdmin with Docker

It's so easy.

First, run the MySQL server:

docker run --name mysqldb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mypasswd -d mysql:latest

Then run the phpMyAdmin server:

docker run --name myadmin -d --link mysqldb:db -p 8080:80 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mypasswd phpmyadmin:latest

Then open your web browser to http://localhost:8080/ and log in with user root and password mypasswd.

That's it!
