A guide to migrating a Drupal 9 database to a personal MySQL database

Question

When I use a tool like PHPMyAdmin on my own server, the data currently being used with Drupal is of course encrypted. I want to move outside of Drupal and create my own custom website and be able to access my original Drupal data such as users, images, and nodes. Thanks for any help.

Tried PHPMyAdmin, but the data is still encrypted and cannot be used for my own customized website.

I agree with Civette - it's a good idea to export the data and then import it in your own new website. You can provide a REST API for export, or use a method like default_content to export to a flat yaml file.
