Managing Databases
How to create, delete, and manage databases using our game panel.
Some plugins, mods, and gamemodes (such as LuckPerms or SQL-backed economy plugins) store their data in a MySQL database instead of a flat file. You can create and manage these databases directly from the game panel, no separate hosting required.
Create a database
- Navigate to the game panel and open your service.
- Using the sidebar, navigate to the "Databases" tab.
- Click "New Database" and give it a memorable name.
- Click "Create" to confirm.
Your new database will appear in the list along with an auto-generated username and password.
Get your connection details
Click on a database in the list to reveal its connection details:
- Endpoint: the host and port to connect to (e.g.
127.0.0.1:3306) - Connection From: which hosts are allowed to connect,
%allows any host - Username and Password: the credentials generated for this database
Enter these into your plugin/mod's configuration file wherever it asks for database credentials.
Connecting with an external tool
Optional
This step is only needed if you want to browse or edit the database directly, most plugins only need the credentials from the step above.
You can connect to your database using a tool such as HeidiSQL, DBeaver, or phpMyAdmin, using the endpoint and credentials shown on the panel.
Rotate a password
If you believe a database's credentials have been compromised, click the rotate icon next to it on the Databases tab to generate a new password. Remember to update the credentials in any plugin/mod configs that reference the old password.
Delete a database
Click the trash icon next to the database you wish to remove, then confirm the deletion.
This cannot be undone!
Deleting a database permanently removes all data stored inside it.
