Learning Docker via Practical Apps - Containerize MySQL and Phpmyadmin

For developers working with databases, the combination of MySQL, a robust open-source relational database, and phpMyAdmin, a user-friendly web-based database administration tool, is a staple. This powerful duo becomes even more potent when containerized with Docker.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of setting up and running both MySQL and phpMyAdmin within separate yet linked Docker containers. We'll explore the benefits of this approach, provide step-by-step instructions, and equip you with the knowledge to streamline your database management workflow.

By encapsulating applications and their dependencies into portable containers, Docker ensures consistency across different environments.

The following are the two references for this.
