Hi,

is it safe/secure to enable mysql remote access? I need it for a Docker Container to connect to Domains Database.
or it is better to leave it deactivaed because of security reasons?
 
I can strict it to docker ip

I see docker bypass the plesk firewall, so it's unsecure to use docker, right?
 
No, it is not unsecure. I know the Uservoice request, but it's much less risk than what it sounds. The point is: When there is no service on a port, data packets addressed to that port will be discarded anyway.

the idea already came to me. on another plesk server i installed it directly without docker. but i need pwpush for a customer, thats in a docker container with webservice... thats my problem.
 
My question was directed to a different thought: What security problem do you actually see? Can you give an example for it, please?
 
i don't know. pwpush starts a webservice, i dont know if it use other ports besinde 80/443. in plesk fail2ban is protecting something. you think its safe to run wppush docker in plesk? i dont want that anyone can hack into the container and can then exploit to the system.
