How do I connect to a managed database DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:42 pm

When you’re ready to start working with a managed database, DigitalOcean offers a number of options. You can connect to an existing database, or create a new one. Here’s how to connect to a managed database on DigitalOcean:

First, create a new database on DigitalOcean. You can use the Database tab in the Droplet Management panel to create a new database.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, it is possible to connect to a managed database DigitalOcean and unintentionally give away your login credentials. Be sure to use a strong password and never share your password with anyone.

Next, connect to the database. To connect to a database, in the Droplet Management panel, click the Database tab, and then click Connect.

In the Connect to Database dialog box, enter the database’s hostname or IP address. You can also use the Connect to Database button to automatically connect to the database.

When you connect to a database, DigitalOcean creates a Droplet instance with the database’s settings. You can use the Droplet to run applications, or to store data.
