How to connect mysql from HeidiSql (or MySql Client)

[mshukurlu]

Hi friends,

I want to connect tutor’s database over HeidiSql.

How can I connect over it?.

I tested localhost as IP number but no use.

Please share your minds,

Thanks in Advance!

Here is my thought on this:
Tutor runs mysql in a docker container, and that docker container is not exposed to localhost rather it’s connected to other docker containers by sharing a docker network.
You could expose it by changing the container or image configuration so that it binds the 3306 port.

Hi,

Check this thread, for the plugin you need

Connect to running mysql instance

Hello, we have the need to connect from a remote machine to the running mysql container, based on what I research is not so simple to connect to a running mysql inside a container. Any tips on how to do this? So basically the issue is, I’ve a server with tutor and all the containers running, and from another host I want to do a remote connection to the database running inside the mysql container. Thanks!

Cheers
