|
|
This is a very basic tutorial that skims just enough of the surface to set MySQL up and running with the panel.
|
|
If you're interested in learning more, there are some great tutorials available on the Internet.</p> <h3 id="logging-in"><a href="#logging-in" class="header-anchor">#</a> Logging In</h3> <p>The first step in this process is to login to the MySQL command line where we will be executing some statements to get
|
|
things setup. To do so, simply run the command below and provide the Root MySQL account's password that you setup when
|
|
installing MySQL. If you do not remember doing this, chances are you can just hit enter as no password is set.</p> <div class="language-bash extra-class"><pre class="language-bash"><code>mysql -u root -p
|
|
</code></pre></div><h3 id="creating-a-user"><a href="#creating-a-user" class="header-anchor">#</a> Creating a user</h3> <p>For security sake, and due to changes in MySQL 5.7, you'll need to create a new user for the panel. To do so, we want
|
|
to first tell MySQL to use the mysql database, which stores such information.</p> <p>Next, we will create a user called <code>pterodactyl</code> and allow logins from localhost which prevents any external connections
|
|
to our database. You can also use <code>%</code> as a wildcard or enter a numeric IP. We will also set the account password
|
|
to <code>somePassword</code>.</p> <div class="language-sql extra-class"><pre class="language-sql"><code><span class="token keyword">USE</span> mysql<span class="token punctuation">;</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="token comment"># Remember to change 'somePassword' below to be a unique password specific to this account.</span>
|
|
<span class="token keyword">CREATE</span> <span class="token keyword">USER</span> <span class="token string">'pterodactyl'</span><span class="token variable">@'127.0.0.1'</span> IDENTIFIED <span class="token keyword">BY</span> <span class="token string">'somePassword'</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div><h3 id="create-a-database"><a href="#create-a-database" class="header-anchor">#</a> Create a database</h3> <p>Next, we need to create a database for the panel. In this tutorial we will be naming the database <code>panel</code>, but you can
|
|
substitute that for whatever name you wish.</p> <div class="language-sql extra-class"><pre class="language-sql"><code><span class="token keyword">CREATE</span> <span class="token keyword">DATABASE</span> panel<span class="token punctuation">;</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div><h3 id="assigning-permissions"><a href="#assigning-permissions" class="header-anchor">#</a> Assigning permissions</h3> <p>Finally, we need to tell MySQL that our pterodactyl user should have access to the panel database. To do this, simply
|
|
run the command below. If you plan on also using this MySQL instance as a database host on the Panel you'll want to
|
|
include the <code>WITH GRANT OPTION</code> (which we are doing here). If you won't be using this user as part of the host setup
|
|
you can remove that.</p> <div class="language-sql extra-class"><pre class="language-sql"><code><span class="token keyword">GRANT</span> <span class="token keyword">ALL</span> <span class="token keyword">PRIVILEGES</span> <span class="token keyword">ON</span> panel<span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token operator">*</span> <span class="token keyword">TO</span> <span class="token string">'pterodactyl'</span><span class="token variable">@'127.0.0.1'</span> <span class="token keyword">WITH</span> <span class="token keyword">GRANT</span> <span class="token keyword">OPTION</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>

To do this, open <code>my.cnf</code>, which varies in location depending on your OS and how MySQL was installed.</p> <p>More recent versions of MySQL have moved the default configuration to <code>mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf</code> or for MariaDB installations the default configuration should be in <code>50-server.cnf</code>. <em>However</em>, <code>my.cnf</code> has been changed to update the default configurations so you don't edit your default configuration files (this is now considered bad practice)!</p> <p>If you open <code>my.cnf</code>, you'll want to add the lines:</p> <div class="language- extra-class"><pre class="language-text"><code>[mysqld]

bind-address=0.0.0.0

</code></pre></div><p>This will override the default MySQL configuration, which by default will only accept requests from lo. Updating this will allow connections on all interfaces, and thus, external connections.</p> <p>If your Node and Daemon are on the same machine, and you won't be needing external access, you can also use the <code>docker0</code> interface IP address, rather than <code>127.0.0.1</code>. This IP address can be found by running <code>ip addr | grep docker0</code>, and it likely looks something like <code>172.x.x.x</code>.</p></div> <div class="page-edit"><div class="edit-link"><a href="https://github.com/pterodactyl/documentation/edit/master/tutorials/mysql_setup.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Help us improve this page.</a> <span><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="15" height="15" class="icon outbound"><path fill="currentColor" d="M18.8,85.1h56l0,0c2.2,0,4-1.8,4-4v-32h-8v28h-48v-48h28v-8h-32l0,0c-2.2,0-4,1.8-4,4v56C14.8,83.3,16.6,85.1,18.8,85.1z"></path> <polygon fill="currentColor" points="45.7,48.7 51.3,54.3 77.2,28.5 77.2,37.2 85.2,37.2 85.2,14.9 62.8,14.9 62.8,22.9 71.5,22.9"></polygon></svg> <span class="sr-only">(opens new window)</span></span></div> <!----></div> <div class="page-nav"><p class="inner"></p> <div class="prev"><span>
