PHPStorm Database support for Homestead

Max Hutschenreiter - 13 Nov 2017

We use Homestead as a Server for all our projects even for WordPress projects. PHPStorm has a really nice Database connection feature. But to set it up with Homestead it took me a while so I want to share the trick.

Step 1

Just open the Database tab on the right side.

Step 2

Add with the plus sign Data Source -> MySql

Step 3

For the Settings, I had to take the IP instead of localhost and use the forwarded Port (can be different on your system if you changed the default settings)

Step 4

Enjoy the nice Database support!
