CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

2- after opend the config file change bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

. . .
lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql
skip-external-locking
#
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 0.0.0.0
. . .

3- allow specific IP addresses on the firewall to connect to the database

sudo ufw allow from remote_IP_address to any port 3306

or allow any IP address on the firewall to connect to the database which I do not recommend it

sudo ufw allow  3306
