Create a database
Create a MySQL/MariaDB database for your Victus App Hosting or game server from the panel Databases tab, and understand the host, port, name, user and password it hands you.
Most apps — WordPress, PHP sites, Discord bots, plugins — need a database. In Victus you create one directly from the panel Databases tab; there is no separate database console to log into. The panel provisions a MySQL/MariaDB database and a dedicated user, and shows you the connection details.
Create the database
- 1Open your server in the control panel at control.victuscloud.com.
- 2Go to the Databases tab.
- 3Click New Database (create). Give it a name; you can usually leave the "connections allowed from" host as the default wildcard (%) unless you want to restrict it.
- 4The panel creates the database plus a user and generates a password.
What you get back
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Host | The database server address to connect to (an IP or hostname). |
| Port | The MySQL port, usually 3306. |
| Database | The database name, often prefixed automatically (e.g. s5_appdata). |
| Username | The generated user with rights on that database only. |
| Password | The generated password (reveal/copy it in the panel). |
One user per database
Each database you create comes with its own scoped user. That user can only touch its own database, which keeps apps isolated from each other.
Reset or remove
- Rotate the password any time from the Databases tab (Change/Reset password) — update your app config afterwards.
- Delete a database from the same tab; this is permanent and drops all its tables, so back up first.
- If you hit a database limit for your plan, delete unused databases or upgrade the plan in billing.
Copy the password now
Treat the generated password like a secret. Store it in your app via environment variables (see "Set environment variables") rather than hard-coding it, and never expose it in files served on the public web.
