 # The Begining of my Home Lab
 
-Thanks to a store reset my employer decided to upgrade their networking equipment and allowed me to take home the previously used equipment and accompaning hardware. 
+With my current employer going through remodeling and refitting our store they decided they were going to throw away/get rid of some old hardware. However, they offered me the chance to take them home if I wanted them, and I did.

+# Setting up a MySQL Server
+
+## Packages
+
+1. [mariadb-server][Mariadb Site]
+2. [mysql-server-8.0][MySQL Site] (included in mariadb-server)
+3. [ufw]
+
+
+## Installation
+
+In my situation I am installing MySQL server on a tower with [Ubuntu Server 20.04][Ubuntu Server Download] I have 3 things I know I will need to do in order to have a successful installation.
+
+### Install Mariadb
+
+Using the follwing command:
+
+    sudo apt install mariadb-server
+
+
+I install mariadb/mysql to my system.
+
+### Configure host-side firewall
+
+From here using ufw (uncomplicated firewall) I need to configure the firewall to only respond to requests from my public ip address.
+
+
+    sudo ufw allow for [public ip address] to any port 3306
+
+### Setting up a user on MySQL
+
+After creating a database and creating a few tables, I created a user and gave the user access to the database and it's tables.
+
+    CREATE DATABASE test_database;
+
+    USE test_database;
+    
+    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXIST test_table(
+        var1 TEXT NOT NULL,
+        var2 INT AUTOINCREMENT,
+    );
+4
+    CREATE USER 'user'@'ip address';IDENTIFIED BY Password('password');
+
+    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON 'test_database'.* TO 'user'@'ip address';
+
+    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By using the user credintials that I created in my MySQL server I can now use modules like PyMySQL, or SqlAlchemy in my python projects in the future.
