phpMyAdmin-FIPS Overview

Secure your stack with a FIPS-validated, hardened phpMyAdmin image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases through a browser. It provides a graphical interface to browse and edit data, run SQL queries, manage users and permissions, and import or export databases, without requiring direct command-line access to the database server. Use this image when you need to meet the requirements for FIPS-validated cryptographic protection.

FIPS 140-3 Certification

This image is FIPS-validated to ensure its cryptographic operations meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) required for secure government and regulated environments. Its core cryptographic modules are validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and comply with the FIPS 140-3 standard.

To verify that the FIPS 140-3 provider is configured and active, follow the instructions in the FIPS compliance tab.

Try It Out

phpMyAdmin needs a database server to connect to. The steps below start a MySQL database and phpMyAdmin using Minimus images.

Step 1 - Create a Docker Network

Create a shared network so phpMyAdmin can reach the database by container name:

docker network create phpmyadmin-net

Step 2 - Start a MySQL Database

Start a MySQL database using the Minimus MySQL-FIPS image. The following command sets the root password to MinimusSecure!!, but you can set any password you want:

docker run -d --name mysql \
  --net phpmyadmin-net \
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=MinimusSecure!! \
  reg.mini.dev/mysql-fips

Step 3 - Start phpMyAdmin

Run phpMyAdmin on the same network as the database, pointing it at the database container by name:

docker run --rm -d --name phpmyadmin \
  --net phpmyadmin-net \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -e PMA_HOST=mysql \
  reg.mini.dev/phpmyadmin-fips

Once both containers are running, visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser and log in as follows:

Username: root
Password: MinimusSecure!! (or whatever you set in Step 2)

You should see the database selection screen, listing the databases on the server along with links to run SQL commands, and manage tables, users, and server status.

Step 4 - Clean Up

Stop and remove the containers and network:

docker rm -f phpmyadmin mysql
docker network rm phpmyadmin-net

Technical Considerations

The phpMyAdmin-FIPS image provided by Minimus is a FIPS-validated, slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image.

phpMyAdmin-FIPS built by Minimus:

Runs as root to support required functions in alignment with the public image.
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.

See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
