to establish a connection. Can you please guide me on how to connect to the MySQL database via SSH?

Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps to connect to a MySQL database via SSH:

  1. Make sure you have SSH access to your Ubuntu VM. If not, you may need to set up SSH first.

  2. Open MySQL Workbench on your PC.

  3. Click on the "+" icon in the "MySQL Connections" section of the home screen.

  4. In the "Connection Name" field, enter a name for your connection (e.g., "MyVM").

  5. In the "Connection Method" dropdown, select "Standard TCP/IP over SSH".

  6. Enter the following details:

    • SSH Hostname: Enter the IP address or hostname of your Ubuntu VM.
    • SSH Username: Enter your username for SSH access.
    • SSH Password: Enter your password for SSH access.

  7. Click on "Test Connection" to verify if the SSH connection is successful.

  8. Once the SSH connection is established, go to the "MySQL" tab.

  9. In the "Hostname" field, enter "localhost".

  10. In the "Port" field, enter the port number of your MySQL server (default is 3306).

  11. Enter your MySQL username and password in their respective fields.

  12. Click on "Test Connection" again to verify if you can connect to the MySQL database via SSH.

If everything is configured correctly, you should be able to establish a connection and access your MySQL database from MySQL Workbench on your PC via an SSH tunnel.

Note: Make sure that remote access is enabled in your MySQL server configuration file (usually located at /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf). Look for a line starting with bind-address and change it to bind-address = 0.0.0.0 or comment it out with a # symbol. Restart the MySQL service after making any changes to the configuration file.
