Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.69_build1800250502.08

Hi, I am running Plesk Obsidian v18.0.69_build1800250502.08 on Debian 12.11 with Docker extension. And I would like to use Plesk databases from my Docker container applications. Let's say, I have a Docker container in Plesk Docker service and the container runs a PHP application. And I would like this application to use the database in Plesk.

How to configure the database server in Tools & Settings > Database Servers > Settings, so that it become accessible from Docker container?
What is the right choice in Default settings for remote access of MariaDB/MySQL database users:

a) Allow local connections only​

b) Allow remote connections from any host​

c) Allow remote connections from​

And how to access the database from the Docker container? Should I use the special DNS name in each container `host.docker.internal` and the port assigned to my Plesk DB server?

Thanks for any ideas.

Please find the instructions on how to allow MySQL connections here. You will also need to make sure the bind-address is set to 0.0.0.0. On Debian, that should be defined in /etc/mysql/my.cnf.

OK, thank you, however, correct me , if I am wrong, but allowing *local MySQL server to accept external connections* will allow the DB to be accessed from other servers/internet as well, doesn't it?
Thank you, you may, however, close this ticket.
