-#### Mysql/Mariadb
+#### MariaDB/MySQL (using docker)
+
+The easiest way to setup MariaDB is through [docker](https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb/) (assuming that you have docker setup and running)
+
+Create mariadb container called `ommariadb` and root password of `root` (change these  how you want).
 
-```bash
-sudo apt install mysql-server
-sudo mysql_secure_installation
+```
+docker run --name ommariadb -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mariadb
 ```
 
-Download `openmonero.sql` provided and setup the `openmonero` database. `openmonero.sql` script will
-drop current `openmonero` if exist. So don't run it, if you have already some important information
-in the `openmonero` database.
+Create openmonero database called `openmonero`.
 
-Assuming we are still in `build` folder:
+```
+cd openmonero/sql
+docker exec -i ommariadb mysql -uroot -proot < openmonero.sql
+```
 
-```bash
-# apply it to mysql
-mysql -p -u root < ../sql/openmonero.sql
+#### PhpMyAdmin (using docker)
+A good way to manage/view the openmonero database is through the
+[PhpMyAdmin in docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/). Using docker,
+this can be done:
+
+```
+docker run --name myadmin -d --link ommariadb:db -p 8080:80 phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
