MariaDB with phpMyAdmin

MariaDB 12.3.3 LTS from the official MariaDB repository with phpMyAdmin 5.2.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: a dedicated, MySQL-compatible database server for your applications. On first boot the InnoDB buffer pool, connection limit, temporary-table sizes and thread pool are sized from the instance's real memory and CPUs. Slow-query logging is on and binary logs are kept for point-in-time recovery. Applications connect on port 3306 with a separate admin account.

Getting started

From launch to signed in, step by step.

  1. Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch in your region with TCP 22 and 80 open, and 3306 only to your application servers or VPC range (never 0.0.0.0/0); wait a few minutes for first boot.

  2. phpMyAdmin: http://<instance-public-ip>/phpmyadmin with username root and your EC2 Instance ID, lowercase exactly as the console shows it (for example i-0123456789abcdef0).

  3. Applications and remote clients use port 3306 with username admin and the same Instance ID password, for example mariadb -h <instance-public-ip> -P 3306 -u admin -p. root works only on the server itself and in phpMyAdmin.

  4. SSH as ubuntu with your key pair. Change passwords with sudo bash /home/ubuntu/iscripts/pass_mariadb.sh (root) or pass_mariadb_admin.sh. After changing the instance type, run sudo bash /home/ubuntu/iscripts/tune_mariadb.sh to re-size the database.

  5. phpMyAdmin is plain HTTP: allow port 80 only from your own IP, or add your own domain and certificate.

Security posture

What this image does and does not ship with, one fact per line.

  • Clean-room build on Canonical's official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image: every component comes from its own official source, and nothing is copied from any third-party image.

  • MariaDB comes from the MariaDB Foundation's official repository and phpMyAdmin from its checksum-verified release tarball.

  • No credentials ship in the image: on first boot every instance sets its own root and admin passwords, phpMyAdmin secrets and server ID from EC2 instance metadata (IMDSv2). root can sign in only on the server itself; network clients use the separate admin account.

  • SSH is key-only, and build-time SSH keys, host keys, machine ID, shell history and logs were removed before imaging.

  • The bundled password tools enforce at least 10 characters with upper- and lower-case letters, a number and a symbol.

  • Open port 3306 only to the hosts that need it and restrict ports 22 and 80 to trusted IP ranges in your security group.
