In order to safeguard our database from hackers and other intrusions, we will install the security script with the MariaDB installation in this step;
sudo mysql_secure_installationSample output:
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none): <PRESS ENTER>
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] n
Enabled successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Change the root password? [Y/n] y
New password:<Enter New Password>
Re-enter new password:<Re-Enter New Password>
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!Now you can log in to MariaDB through the command below;
sudo mariadbSample output;
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 39
Server version: 10.6.11-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Ubuntu 22.04

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
MariaDB [(none)]>The next step is to flush all privileges before continuing;
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.001 sec)6. Create MariaDB Database
Then, using the following command, create the Maria database:
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE tutordb;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.001 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> You can choose the name of your database, for this guide I created “tutordb“.
Now view your database already created using the command below:
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| sys |
| tutordb |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.062 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> 7. Create MariaDB User
In the following step, enter the following command to create a MariaDB user:
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'tutornix'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.283 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> Then grant all privileges to the created MariaDB “tutornix” user;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to 'tutornix'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.384 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> Finally, type “quit” to exit the active MariaDB shell:
MariaDB [(none)]> quit;
