I'm trying to learn how to use docker (I have to use kitematic because I'm not able to use commands, so everything I do I do it in kitematic, so please don't tell me about commands). I'm using docker toolkit for windows 10.
What I'm trying to achieve: I want something like xampp. I mean: creating/managing databases with phpmyadmin and a folder where I can store my projects folder (something like htdocs in xampp) so I can run and test my php scripts. Even if I have to use (for example) wordpress, I want to be able to browse the wordpress root, navigate files, edit them, etc. But wordpress is only one of the things I need to test, I also need to run plain php pages. I also want 2 php containers I can run on my choice (example: if I want to test something with php 7.4 I run a container, if I want to test with php 5.6 I run another).
I tried to create apache containers (httpd), php containers, mysql containers, etc. But maybe there's something I don't get. If I start the mysql container I have the mysql engine but I can't manage databases. So I start the phpmyadmin container but it runs on its own, not linked to mysql (if I start the phpmyadmin container but not the mysql and php ones, it works too... why?) and I can't access it because I don't know what credentials I should use. If I start the apache container I don't see any way to browse files so I can store project files. Only the mysql container tells me how to configure it (setting the root password). Other containers just don't. The php container starts and close immediately.
