1. Intro

MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL® with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.

2. Access Information

Protocol	Address	Notes
traefik**	mariadb:6603	Only for Internal App-to-App Communication
https†	mariadb.domain.com	Traefik must be Deployed; Remote Servers
http	domain.com:6603	Poor Security Practice - Stop with PTS Port Guard
http	ipv4:6603	Ideal Only for Local Servers

Internal	External
3306	6603

†Requires oauth to be disabled. Exposing the database directly to the internet is rarely required. It's better to use an SSH tunnel to the host and connect locally.

** Ideal for Apps to communicate between with one another. Click Here for more info!

3. Login Information

The initial login information is set as follows:

Username	Password
root	plexguide

This should be changed for security reasons. This can be done via the terminal command docker exec -it [container] mysql [database] -uroot -p

For example:

docker exec -it mariadb mysql mysql -uroot -pplexguide

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('new_password');

quit

4. Summary

The MariaDB container is solely a database on its own but can be used by other containers or applications which require a MySQL/MariaDB instance.
