Prerequisites

  • An OVHcloud account with a Web Cloud Database (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • A VexiData account

​
Connect OVHcloud to VexiData

1

Get your connection details

  1. Log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel
  2. Navigate to Web Cloud > Web Cloud Databases in the left sidebar
  3. Select your database server
  4. On the General Information tab, find the hostname and port in the connection information section
  5. Go to the Users and Rights tab to find your username
  6. Go to the Databases tab to find your database name
ParameterExample
HostaaXXXXX-XXX.eu.clouddb.ovh.net
Port35XXX (custom per instance)
DatabaseYour database name
UsernameYour database username
PasswordYour database password
OVHcloud assigns a custom port to each database instance — it won’t be the standard 3306. Make sure you copy the exact port from the General Information tab.

Authorize VexiData's IP addresses

OVHcloud blocks all external connections by default. You must add VexiData’s IP addresses to the allowlist.
  1. In your database server settings, go to the Authorised IPs tab
  2. Click Add an IP address/mask
  3. Add each of VexiData’s IPs:
IP address/mask
139.59.53.167/32
165.22.217.42/32
  1. Save the changes
IP authorization is mandatory. Your connection will fail without this step.
3

Add the connection in VexiData

  1. Go to Data Sources in VexiData
  2. Click MySQL or MariaDB depending on your database engine
  3. Fill in the details:
FieldValue
Display NameA name to identify this connection (e.g., “OVHcloud Production”)
HostYour OVHcloud hostname (e.g., aaXXXXX-XXX.eu.clouddb.ovh.net)
PortYour custom port (e.g., 35XXX)
DatabaseYour database name
UsernameYour database username
PasswordYour database password

Test and save

Click Test & Save Connection. VexiData will verify it can reach your database. Once connected, your schema will be analyzed automatically.

Troubleshooting

  • Verify VexiData’s IPs (139.59.53.167/32 and 165.22.217.42/32) are listed in the Authorised IPs tab. Without this, all external connections are blocked
  • Make sure you’re using the custom port from the General Information tab, not the standard 3306
  • Check that your database server is running in the OVHcloud Control Panel
  • Verify your username and password. You can reset the password from the Users and Rights tab via the options menu
  • Make sure the user has access to the specific database you’re connecting to
  • Check that your database user has SELECT permissions on the tables
  • Verify you entered the correct database name from the Databases tab
