Add DatabaseHost alias

[RMartinOscar]

Add alias to DatabaseHosts and display that instead of the ip in the endpoint.
Useful when you create [email protected] but still want to show either a domain or for example 172.18.0.1

Sorry I don't get what this solves. You should be able to use the domain in the host column and the name is the "alias"

It's for users that use a local ip or localhost for the host but want to show a different value.

We have a 'Display Name' section. The admin could just put db.pelican.dev and that would be displayed to the end-user on the connection details. Unless that's broken?

The Display name is only for the admin side its not passed to react and never was

Like Charles said the Display Name is supposed to be used as an alias.
Could change the PR to fix that? Thanks.

I thought it was just a name on the admin side kinda like for Nodes
That means i'd have to edit the old client part is it worth doing or should i wait and reimplement it after #353 ?

You can do it now, it's just a small edit. #353 will take a while.

I was looking for issues to solve on Pterodactyl's git and i stumbled upon this one that made me unsure about the solution, should i follow what was previously said or implement it differently to comply with that issue aswell ?

Maybe make alias an array (would make jdbc harder but tbh you won't use jdbc connection string outside of your server so we can set it to the first alias)

After reading the original issue, I think it has some merit, however I think we should think more carefully about the execution. Let's continue this in a repo discussion!
