This guide details the management of access and security for your databases (MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB) on a Managed Cloud Server.

Preamble

• The firewall is accessible in your Manager even if no Apache site is configured (useful for Node.js-only projects, for example).
• Regarding access to MySQL databases from another Infomaniak Web Hosting, refer to this other guide.
• Regarding MongoDB:
  • To ensure the security of your data, the system blocks registration if you attempt to disable local_only mode without enabling authentication.
  • Infomaniak's automatic backups do not include MongoDB databases.

Allow outgoing access (Infomaniak → external)

From an Infomaniak Web Hosting or Cloud Server, requests to external databases are allowed by default without port restrictions.

Allow incoming access (external → Infomaniak)

To access your databases from the outside, you must have a Cloud Server and open the corresponding ports in the firewall of your server:

• MySQL / MariaDB: port 3306 (TCP)
• MongoDB: port 27017 (TCP)

Configure remote access for MongoDB

By default, MongoDB only accepts local connections.

To allow remote access via Fast Installer, you must adjust the configuration while respecting strict security rules.
