# 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,
);
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.
