How to enable MongoDB driver?

[Stolz]

I have successfully built my own Adminer Docker image that adds MongoDB PHP extension to the official Adminer Docker image:

FROM adminer

USER root

RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual .phpize-deps-configure $PHPIZE_DEPS && \
    echo '' | pecl install mongodb && \
    docker-php-ext-enable mongodb && \
    apk del .phpize-deps-configure && \
    chown -R adminer:adminer /var/www && \
    find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

USER adminer

I know MongoDB PHP extension is working fine because my custom image contains some other PHP code that interacts with MongoDB without problems.

» docker run --rm adminer-mongo php -m | grep mongo
mongodb

However, when I run a container using my customized Docker image, the login page of Adminer does not show MongoDB as an option in the system dropdown menu.

I can see the Docker container using my custom image includes the MongoDB driver

» docker run --rm adminer-mongo ls -l plugins/drivers/mongo.php
-rw-rw-r--    1 adminer  adminer      12999 May  4 16:30 plugins/drivers/mongo.php

If I try to enable mongo plugin using ADMINER_PLUGINS env variable I get these errors:

» docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm --name adminer -e 'ADMINER_PLUGINS=mongodb' adminer-mongo
Unable to find plugin file "mongodb".

» docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm --name adminer -e 'ADMINER_PLUGINS=drivers/mongodb' adminer-mongo
/usr/local/bin/entrypoint.sh: line 14: can't create plugins-enabled/001-drivers/mongodb.php: nonexistent directory

Any idea of how to proceed?

unfortunately the current state of the project does not seem to support loading driver plugins.

i've managed to modify the plugin loading process for the adminer 5 image, but this is in no way, shape or form guaranteed to work for you.

if you want, you can take a look at https://github.com/elgarfo/adminer-docker-mongodb.

with these modifications i was able to load drivers (i.e. "mongo") and the normal plugins too.
i radically removed code from plugin-loader.php to make adminer use its own plugin loading methods.

just a headsup: the "alpha" in the plugins name seems to be meaningful. when not giving a database name (or trying to list databases on the server), the container crashes for me complaining about "db_name" not being set.

anyway, as i was trying to get it working to connect to an ancient mongo-version (4.4.), i had to eventually realize, that the plugin is not fit for such an old version. maybe it is still of use to you or s/o else.

Thanks a lot @elgarfo , with your modified files my Adminer now offers MongoDB as an option.

I couldn't connect to my MongoDB Instance (Azure CosmosDB) but it's due to an unrelated SSL issue in the original image. In case it helps, to enable SSL support in LibMongoC, just update the apk add ... command so it also installs openssl-dev package

php --ri mongodb
