Hello, I am very new to mysql databases and I wanted to know how can I retrieve the dynmap files from it. I am using pterodactyl panel (if that helps)
#How do I access the dynmap files from the sql database?

There's additional guides on the GitHub Wiki for setting up a web server alongside a MySQL database that you can follow along with
As for retrieving any already rendered Dynmap files and storing the tiles inside of a MySQL database, you will have to re-render (i.e. initiate a full render) of the world after it has been connected to the MySQL database
As an experimental option, please refer to this post: #1120398757662560417 message
Albeit, that's a more advanced and unsupported option, please keep in mind that there is currently no method of conversion of said Dynmap files directly into a MySQL database at this time
If you're planning on migrating or backing up said Dynmap data or tiles from a SQL database to say another SQL database or to a remote site, you can simply backup the SQL database by following an online tutorial for your associated type of database (i.e. MySQL/PostgreSQL)
If you're utilizing a hosting provider, they may be able to offer support with how to backup your SQL database, otherwise you will likely require command-line access to the SQL database via a SQL client of some sort or another in order to initiate a manual backup
I do not believe Pterodactyl Panel supports database backups at this time either, though you can certainly ask them about that within their Discord server

Wow, thanks for the answer. So currently there's no official way to get the files from the database and transfer it to a different database?

No problem. You can backup a database, whichever kind you're using, and import it into a new database of the same type, though that's out of the scope of Dynmap, heh
You will have to Google a tutorial on how to do that
After that, you will have to reconnect the new database to your Minecraft server and web server (i.e. Dynmap; NGINX/Apache2)
I was originally under the impression that you wanted to convert your pre-existing Dynmap files into a database, however it sounds like you simply want to migrate your pre-existing Dynmap data that's already in your database to a new database?
Either way, the resources above should help you in both cases :)
