I have MYSQL installed in my Windows system. If I just turn on the system and leave it at the Windows Login screen without logging in, I'm still able to access the MYSQL DB from a remote system by knowing the IP.
Is this normal? Does MYSQL begin running even before login? Or is remote login somewhat different?
It's usually a windows service, and that indeed starts before you login.
Yes, MySQL service will start when Windows started and you can connect any MySQL hosted system on the network knowing IpAddress OR System Name.
If you want to block connecting your MySQL DB, ref: this link

Using the deck app, that uses Multipass & Docker to build containers and instances of specific technologies (such as Laravel, CodeIgnite, Apache, etc.,) to create a mysql instance it installs a copy of phpmyadmin and allows you to view the server through the browser.
I cannot logon to the phpmyadmin page that is created by this mysql/phpmyadmin instance in the deck app
I have messed around using CLI (terminal) to initiate the server to make it active, however this generally resulted in errors.
I have web hosting that allows me to use remote myqsl through cpanel but I don't know how to connect it to a localhost.
I would like to know how to login or use the mysql server.
I would appreciate advice on what I need to do to make this new mysql instance usable, so I can get a username, password & database name to utilise in a laravel project.
I would also like to know if there is any better solution for creating a mysql & phpmyadmin database to use for a laravel project.
Thanks in advance!

What are the errors?

You wouldn't; you'll want to install your own phpMyAdmin locally rather than connecting your web host to your local server. You should not expose your local database server to the internet.
I would like to know how to login or use the mysql server.
Using the password you set during installation, or if you weren't prompted, usually it's a blank password.
I have windows and am running ubuntu 16.4 on a virtual machine for my analysis, I have installed and created user login and password to mysql databank through VM using this instruction:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-20-04
but now I don't understand how I can connect to it with my windows browser? Is it even possible to connect to mysql from my windows because technically I have installed it on another system (VM Ubuntu 16.4)?
I would appreciate if someone could guide me since I am a beginner. thanks
You don't connect to a database server like MySQL using a browser, but rather with a dedicated client program.
Some installations of MySQL also have a web program running called phpmyadmin. You can use that web program from your browser to do things to your MySQL server. But the digital ocean tutorial you followed doesn't install that.
You need a MySQL client program running on your Windows machine to connect to the MySQL server on your VM. Ansgar Becker's HeidiSQL is a good choice. So is MySQL Workbench from the MySQL team.
And, be sure you can ssh from your Windows machine to your VM before you try all this stuff. You'll need to know the IP address of your VM when you connect to your MySQL server from your MySQL client.
Let's say your Windows machine has IP 192.0.2.101 and your VM has IP 192.0.2.121. You need to follow the steps in this part of your tutorial to create a MySQL user profile that can connect from your Windows machine. Something like this.
CREATE USER 'xyz0o'#'192.0.2.101' IDENTIFIED BY 'someHardToGuessPassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
To create that user you need to ssh into your vm and run the mysql command line program.
Then from your client on your Windows machine you'll connect to the MySQL server on 192.0.2.121 using whatever username / password combination you gave in the CREATE USER command.
I want to develop a project for some college work. For this project i want to create a database in MySQL and I should be able to access this database from 2 different PC's which have MySQL workbench installed on it. I can use one of the PC's as the server or even a third PC as the server for the MySQL database. Someone please help me in doing this as i am unable to find any solutions online.
There's not much of an issue here.
Download and install the server from here.
Then install it on a computer within the same LAN of other computers
that will query the database.
Get the local ip of the computer on which the server is up and
running (on windows run cmd and then ipconfig) then look for
IPv4 Address value of the LAN.
Then establish the connection from other computers using that ip
value as host value configuration.
I have a MySQL database on another windows computer (a server) that is setup locally using remote desktop connection for testing.
How can I connect to that local database to Visual Studio 2010 on "my computer"?
Server Computer(MySQL database setup local) --> My Computer(Visual Studio for test code..)
I am new to MySQL and any suggestions will help.
Thanks
PS: I have found this, but the "Server Name" for the database is 127.0.0.1 which I can't use because it is local on whatever computer you are on.

You'll have to use the address of the computer that it is hosted on. It should be the same as the address you use to connect to the remote desktop session.
You might need to configure the firewall to accept the connection. You also might need to setup MySQL to allow remote connections with the user that you authenticate with.
I would recommend downloading MySQL workbench and install it on your local computer. Once you get the connection working with that, you should be able to use the connection with VS2010.
If you're not sure how to do the things listed above, you'll need to start out with a basic tutorial on setting up MySQL for remote connectivity.
I developed a project in VB.NET
In this project I want to use data from MySQL that is resides in my WEB Server.
I can communicate with the MySQL server of my localhost but can not communicate with the WEB Server.
In my CPanel I added Host from the Remote Database Access
But I can't communicate with WEB MySQL Server.
Please help me.
The first step is to try to connect to the web mysql with MySql Query Browser - that will tell you if the database is open for remote connections ( I assume it would fail)
I guess you have already checked it, but make sure you use the correct ip
EDIT:
As Björn said, your vb code is ok, so the problem is with the connection to the db.
Unfortunately that would be caused by many many reasons.
Are you sure you use a real IP from the host (and use it in the mysql settings)?
Are you sure you entered the correct remote host in the mysql settigns?
Are you sure you have correct connection string in the vb code?
Since your post indicates you can access the DB on your localhost, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the way you're connecting to the DB from your application (.NET-Connector?).
What does the external MySQL-Server say? Access denied? Or can't you reach it from the pc where your application is hosted (aka maybe a firewall regulation, other network etc.)?
