If you haven’t already, start by installing DDEV, a Docker-based tool that simplifies the management of local PHP development environments. Follow the installation instructions from the official DDEV documentation.
Assuming you have your Drupal project already set up with DDEV, navigate to your project directory:
cd your-drupal-project
If you haven't set up your Drupal project with DDEV yet, you can follow this detailed guide on setting up Drupal with Docker and DDEV: Setup Drupal with Docker & DDEV.
To install phpMyAdmin within your DDEV environment, run the following command:
ddev get ddev/ddev-phpmyadmin
Once phpMyAdmin is installed, you can check the configuration by running:
ddev describe
This command will display the details of your DDEV environment, including the URL where phpMyAdmin is accessible.
After setting up, you can access phpMyAdmin by navigating to the provided URL in your ddev describe output. It will typically be something like https://your-drupal-project.ddev.site:8036.
By following these steps, you can easily set up phpMyAdmin within your Drupal project using DDEV. This setup will allow you to manage your databases conveniently within your local development environment. For further reference on setting up Drupal with Docker and DDEV, check out this guide.
