However... I find this a little cumbersome for smooth development, so I much prefer to use Adminer, which as you may have guessed by now, can be spun up in it's very own container. The setup is similar to how we set up the MariaDB container and you can check out the official docs for the details should you want to set it up in the terminal too. The only problem with doing this is that you must set up a named network and connect both the MariaDB container and the Adminer container to it so that they can communicate. I did it a few times just to see how it was, and it's a lot of work so I'll just briefly explain the part of creating a network, because you will see later that there is a much easier way to achieve the same results even if doing it all manually is far more educational.
After running this command with all you own details, docker will first check your local images for the one you have specified. If it doesn't find it already downloaded, it will then pull the image from docker hub and use that to build the container with any and all of your given arguments like the environment variables and name.
