Description

The first page you see here makes you think that you need to tick one of those two tick boxes.

I think some kind of indication that a valid option is to ignore those tick boxes and just enter the name would be helpful.

One good option would be to have three tick boxes with the top one being "connect to a local dolt/mysql server". You could have that option ticked by default and then show the relevant text entry boxes to pick depending on the selection of tickbox.

At the moment the UI is implicitly telling you that you need to choose one of those first two options when the modal case is leaving it unticked.

Finally, you're currently using checkboxes which typically imply multiple selection is possible. Radio buttons are a more standard UI choice for when only a single option is selectable at a time.
