If you are having trouble connecting to MariaDB remotely, then you need to check bind-address in the MariaDB configuration file.

The MariaDB configuration file can be found under the following directory /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

To open and start editing the file using nano enter the following in the terminal

nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf


Scroll until you find bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Then comment out the line #bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Add a new line for bind-address and set this to bind-address = 0.0.0.0




Save the file by pressing ctrl + o and hit enter




Then exit nano by pressing ctrl + x

Then restart MariaDB
systemctl restart mariadb
