remote mysql 5.7 with ssl connection

pmik76

Hello everyone
Anyway to get a ssl connection to remote mysql for the installation?
Should I mess with the Laravel code to achieve that?
Should I install with no ssl and enable the ssl parameters in the config.php file that will be created?

What are you entering in the database host field?

Host IP and port. From what I understand, you cannot use anything else on the database host field.

Either create without SSL or use the command line install with a configuration description to match what you need (not actually sure if you can pass parameters other than those in the graphical installer).

The settings are fed directly to the Laravel database driver, so if you know how to configure Laravel you'll be able to configure Flarum. I've never done it so I'm not even sure if it's possible.

I guess you could also proxy the database through a local socket if necessary.
