Plugins are broken in docker image

[rubenhak]

The plugins are not working with the latest adminer:5.2.1-standalone image.

Enable the login-servers plugin using:

Dockerfile

FROM adminer:5.2.1-standalone
RUN cp /var/www/html/plugins/login-servers.php /var/www/html/plugins-enabled/

$ docker build -t adminer:dev . 
$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 adminer:dev

Error:

GET /favicon.ico - Uncaught TypeError: method_exists(): Argument #1 ($object_or_class) must be of type object|string, int given in /var/www/html/adminer.php:1142
Stack trace:

#4 /var/www/html/index.php(56): require('/var/www/html/a...')

The prior fix attempt didn't fix the problem: #207

RUN cp /var/www/html/plugins/login-servers.php /var/www/html/plugins-enabled/

You are using it incorrectly. The files in plugins-enables/* are supposed to return a plugin object. By copying the plugin file you are not returning anything, which PHP will interpret as a return value of 1 and which then leads to this error message (which arguably can be improved).

login-servers is a plugin with a required parameter. Trying to load it via the environment variable will tell you how to use it:

Unable to load plugin file "login-servers", because it has required parameters: servers
Create a file "/var/www/html/plugins-enabled/login-servers.php" with the following contents to load the plugin:

<?php
require_once('plugins/login-servers.php');

/** Set supported servers
	* @param array{server:string, driver:string}[] $servers [$description => ["server" => , "driver" => "server|pgsql|sqlite|..."]], note that the driver for MySQL is called 'server'
	*/
return new AdminerLoginServers(
	$servers = ???
);

Note the return new AdminerLoginServers().

I am having a plugin issue as well. How would you list a driver plugin in the environment variable? I have tried to enter "mongo" and am met with unable to find plugin. However, if I enter "drivers/mongo" it errors out and fails to start with unable to create directory or files with "permission denied".

@johnoldiges I worked arround this issue by creating fake loader classes like

<?php
require_once("plugins/drivers/mongo.php");
class MongoDBDriver extends Adminer\Plugin {
    public function description() { return 'Provide MongoDB Driver'; }
}
return new MongoDBDriver();

and copying them into the /var/www/html/plugins-enabled/ folder of the docker image. Not sure if still needed with version 6.0.0
