MySQL Over Local Network #270
-
|
Hi Takeout Fans - Is there an easy way to make my local MySQL database available over my local network (or, I guess, over the Internet). This would be a big help in sharing a development database. Looking at the Docker app, it seems to be bound to 0.0.0.0::3307 - is there a way to change that (through Takeout or through the Docker app) to the actual IP address (NAT or real) of the machine? Thanks!! |

Hey @ulfie22! Takeout does not have a built-in network tunnel to share connections externally, but you can easily use ngrok to do that. Install ngrok and run
For example, in the screenshot above, you can see a forwarding address of From an external network, you can connect via mysql to host |

Hey @ulfie22!

Install ngrok and run
ngrok tcp 3306(or whatever port your takeout container is bound to). This will provide a forwarding address that you can share with external networks.For example, in the screenshot above, you can see a forwarding address of
tcp://8.tcp.ngrok.io:15423From an external network, you can connect via mysql to host
8.tcp.ngrok.iowith port15423.
