Connecting DBeaver, HeidiSQL, and External Clients to MariaDB // NodeFlux Docs

Connect external database management clients securely to your NodeFlux MariaDB instance. ## Steps 1. Deploy a MariaDB plan from the application plans category in the NodeFlux manager. 2. Locate your assigned database host, port, database name, username, and password in service details. 3. Open your desktop SQL client (DBeaver, HeidiSQL, or MySQL Workbench). 4. Create a new MySQL/MariaDB connection entry. 5. Enter host IP, assigned port (e.g., 3306 or assigned custom port), username, password, and database name. 6. Test connection; verify table list populates correctly in your SQL client. ## Notes - MariaDB is binary-compatible with MySQL protocol and supports standard MySQL connectors. - Always store database passwords securely and avoid embedding them in public code repositories.
