CREATE USER 'sqladmin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'sqladmin'@'%';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

open port 3306 in firewall

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

bind-address            = 0.0.0.0

service mysql restart

Why do you need to access MariaDB server remotely?

I want to build a remote GUI where I can add a user - would need to send the querey into MariaDB remotely I believe. I am also new at this so if there is an easier way to do this please let me know!

Any idea why this wouldnt work? I double checked that 3306 is open and mysql is listening on that port. Unsure where Im going wrong

Side note: I used telnet ip-address 3306 and the connection opened fine - maybe something further in the config settings?
