  <pre><code>Host: 127.0.0.1

  I need to make a database on a remote server, and since I have been using [craftman](https://github.com/gabrielmoreira/craftman) installer which uses Docker to install Craft CMS and DB locally I have no idea how does the DB actually looks like. How can I check and see what is DB like, and export the sql file so that I can import it on the remote server?
  I have tried to connect to it using these settings:
  
  ```
  Host: 127.0.0.1
  Username: root
  Password: 
  Database: craft
  Port: 3306
  
  ```
  
  I have also tried with changing the Db name from craft to the name of my project, but that didn't work either, not sure where I can find the right settings and how to connect to DB?

  Never used craftman before, but it [looks like](https://github.com/gabrielmoreira/craftman/blob/master/craftman#L99) the database name it creates is called `craft` and it's pulling the database [user and password](https://github.com/gabrielmoreira/craftman/blob/master/craftman#L504-L505) from some environment variables named `CRAFT_DB_USER` and `CRAFT_DB_PASSWORD` you could check for.
