Question

I am aware of this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES
ON database.*
TO \'user\'@\'yourremotehost\'
IDENTIFIED BY \'newpassword\';

But then it on

Answer 1

You can slove the problem of MariaDB via this command:

Note:

GRANT ALL ON *.* to root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysql root password';

% is a wildcard. In this case, it refers to all IP addresses.

Answer 2

Just create the user to some database like

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <database_name>.* TO '<username>'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>'

Then go to

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf and change the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 to bind-address = 0.0.0.0

After that you may connect to that database from any IP.

Answer 3

You can disable all security by editing /etc/my.cnf:
