What it installs
- MySQL 8 or MariaDB, whichever you pick, bound to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else.
- Root on the socket, an application account, and a separate remote account your laptop uses through the SSH session.
- A buffer pool sized for the machine, and an import of any dump you drop in ~/dumps — once each, whatever the engine.
What it asks you for
- MySQL or MariaDB.
- The port. 3306 by default.
- The names of the application account and the remote account.
- The application password and the remote password. Both can be generated for you and are never displayed again.
- The buffer pool size.
Good to know
Nothing listens on a public interface. A database client on your laptop reaches the server through a tunnel the app opens on the SSH session it already holds — one click on the service page.
