How do I set up phpMyAdmin on a Laravel Homestead box?

Option 1:

This will install the latest version of PhpMyAdmin from a shell script I’ve written. You are welcome to check it out on Github.

  1. Run the following command from your code/projects directory:

     curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrnikos/pma/master/pma.sh | bash
    

Option 2:

This will install PhpMyAdmin (not the latest version) from Ubuntu’s repositories. Assuming that your projects live in /home/vagrant/Code :

  1. sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin Do not select apache2 nor lighttpd when prompted. Just hit tab and enter.

  2. sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /home/vagrant/code/phpmyadmin

  3. cd ~/Code && serve phpmyadmin.test /home/vagrant/code/phpmyadmin

Note: If you encounter issues creating the symbolic link on step 2, try the first option or see Lyndon Watkins’ answer below.

Final steps:

  1. Open the /etc/hosts file on your main machine and add:

     127.0.0.1  phpmyadmin.test
    
  2. Go to http://phpmyadmin.test:8000
