How to Host a MySQL Server on Linux

In this video I will be showing how to host a MySQL server on a linux server. This involves downloading and installing MySQL on the linux server and configuring it so that it can be connected to remotely. In the last parts of the video I will demonstrate how to connect to the server from python code. Thanks to linode for sponsoring this video!

Use the username you set in the last command and the password. * Enroll in The Fundamentals of Programming w/ Python https://tech-with-tim.teachable.com/p...
