I'm a little confused about what is the practical use of a private networking. I want to create two droplets for my website, on for the php staff (server A) and another for mongodb database (server B). Should I enable private networking on these servers and use server B's private ip for mongodb connection string on server A or this is not the correct use for private networking?
Hey there,
Running a remote Database is a perfect use of Private Networking. You could further restrict the public interface access on Server B for added security.
Happy coding,

Do i need to enable private networking on boh vps?
Also is it posible to install phpmyadmin on this ocation?
You would need to enable private networking on both Droplets. Phpmyadmin would be for MySQL databases. Technically you could host a tool on Server A to use to work with the database, but you would want to weigh the security implications of that.

thanks for your answer,
just one thing is not clear, if i must install phpmyadmin of the database server, dont i need to install remaining of LEMP on that server? like nginx and php?
i would really appreciate if you give me a details idea on this part.
