Once connected, you can obtain the IP address of your virtual machine at any time by running the command ifconfig -a in the virtual machine server console. To configure your virtual machine to connect to your local network, refer to these instructions. NOTE: Ensure that your virtual machine has a local network IP address. To connect to your database server remotely using the MySQL client, follow these steps:

Follow these instructions to remotely connect safely and reliably. Instead, use a secure channel such as a VPN or an SSH tunnel. If, for development purposes, you need to access from outside of a trusted network, please do not allow access to those ports via a public IP address. You are strongly advised to only allow access to those ports from trusted networks. IMPORTANT: Making this application’s network ports public is a significant security risk. The output of the command indicates which database server (MySQL or MariaDB) is used by the installation, and will allow you to identify which guides to follow in our documentation for common database-related operations. To identify which database server is used in your stack, run the command below: $ test -d /opt/bitnami/mariadb & echo "MariaDB" || echo "MySQL" On account of these changes, the file paths and commands stated in this guide may change depending on whether your Bitnami stack uses MySQL or MariaDB. NOTE: We are in the process of modifying the configuration for many Bitnami stacks. Connect to MySQL from a different machine
