Remotely accessing MariaDB
Database backups no longer need remote access. The dashboard now uses the qbx_db_backup resource, which runs on your own server and uploads the backups from there. Follow the Database Backups guide instead. This article is still the right one if you want to connect Grafana or another external tool to your database.
It is sometimes useful to reach your database from outside the machine it runs on, for example to connect monitoring tools like Grafana or to run queries from your own PC. Configuring remote access to your MariaDB instance is not hard, but it is easy to do in a way that leaves your database wide open, so this guide walks through doing it safely.
