Local by Flywheel: Upload Own Database

Local By FlywheelThis post is part of the series on Local by Flywheel.

To migrate an existing site into Local by Flywheel, the first step is to restore your database. To make the backup, I used the mySQL Workbench, but many tools can be used to make and restore a backup of the database.

The first step is to backup your database from your current web host. Once you have this backup file, you need to restore it to the Local by Flywheel database.

The connection details for this database are available from the Local by Flywheel app on the Database tab:

azurecurve Database page

With these details you can use mySQL Workbench to connect and restore the database.
