Sequelize connection over ssh - node.js

I am not able to connect to a remote mysql server using sequelize but I am able to ssh into the machine and connect to mysql.
How do I make Sequelize connect to mysql server over ssh rather than directly in node?

You set up an SSH tunnel to your server, which listens on (for example) port 33060:
ssh -NL 33060:localhost:3306 yourserver
In another window/terminal, you can use the MySQL client (assuming that it's installed locally) to connect to the remote MySQL server over the SSH tunnel:
mysql --port 33060 --host 127.0.0.1
If that works, it's just a matter of changing the port number in Sequelize:
var sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', {
host: "127.0.0.1",
port: 33060
});
If it doesn't work, it might be that the remote MySQL server isn't configured to accept connections over TCP. If that's the case, you should configure your MySQL server to get it to accept TCP connections.

Why connection to postgres from nodejs is not working?

I have back-end created in nodejs hosted on Debian server using postgres 14.
the Nodejs listenning on port 5000, and when I try to connect to postgres using port 5432, I am getting the following reponse from Postman:
"Password is invalid".
I was trying the postgres role, and to create a new role, and problem is the same.
I was installing postgres on my Windows 10 computer, and all works fine in my localhost, but on the remote server not.
My Nodejs back-end, and postgres are on the same computer, but each role I've tryed won't connect to the database.
There is pg_hba.conf in /etc/postgres/14 on your server you have to add:
host username database 0.0.0.0/0 md5
This would allow connection to database from any host to username using password authentication.
Also there is a pg.conf or postgres conf
There is line allow_connections the value should be '*'
allow_connections='*'
This would generally allow connections to postgres running on that server

don’t forget you have to reload postgres after config change:
systemctl reload postgres

Not able to connect to EC2 instance in AWS via python/psycopg2

I am having trouble connecting to aws via python. I have a macOSX operating system.
What i did:
I created an ec2 instance and chose an operating system (ubuntu) and downloaded postgresssql in the remote server. Then i created securitygroups where i added the following configuration:
type:
ssh
protocol:
tcp
port: 22
source: custom, 0.0.0.0/0
Then i added another rule:
postgresql
TCP
5432
custom
my_computer_ip_address 71.???.??.???/32
where i added question marks just to hide the address. but its in that format.
Now, aws had me create a .pem file in order to query from the database. I downloaded this pem file into a secret location.
When i go to my local machine, go to my terminal and type:
ssh -i "timescale.pem" ubuntu#ec2-??-???-??-???.compute-1.amazonaws.com"
i am able to connect. I also went to my dbeaver and created a new connection and set up a connection where i am using an ssh tunnel and a public key to read the 'timescale.pem' file i created. I then go to main and type my username and password:
username: postgres
database: example
password: mycustompassword
and i am able to connect with no issues.
Now, when I go to python with psycopg2 library, i am just unable to connect at all. I have gone through all the examples here in stackoverflow and none of them have helped me. Heres what i am using to connect to aws from python:
path_to_secret_key = os.path.expanduser("~/timescale.pem")
conn = psycopg2.connect(
dbname='example',
user='postgres',
password='pass123',
host='ec2-??-??-??-???.compute-1.amazonaws.com',
port='22',
sslmode='verify-full',
sslrootcert=path_to_secret_key)
I then get this error:
connection to server at "ec2-34-???-??-???.compute-1.amazonaws.com" (34.201.??.???), port 22 failed: could not read root certificate file "/Users/me/timescale.pem": no certificate or crl found
Ok...then i switched ports and added '5432' and get this warning:
connection to server at "ec2-??-???-??-???.compute-1.amazonaws.com" (34.???.??.212), port 5432 failed: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
When i ssh into my terminal and type: netstat -nl |grep 5432 i get the following:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 812450 /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
Can someone please help? Thanks
The .pem file is for connecting to the EC2 instance over SSH, on port 22. PostgreSQL is running on port 5432. You don't use the .pem file for database connections, only for ssh connections. You need to change your Python script to use port='5432', to connect directly to the PostgreSQL service running on the EC2 instance.
This seems to work now:
from sshtunnel import SSHTunnelForwarder
mypkey = paramiko.Ed25519Key.from_private_key_file(path_to_secret_key)
tunnel = SSHTunnelForwarder(
('remote_public_port', 22),
ssh_username='ubuntu',
ssh_pkey=mypkey,
remote_bind_address=('localhost', 5432))
tunnel.start()
conn = psycopg2.connect(
dbname='example_db',
user='postgres',
password='secret123',
host='127.0.0.1',
port=tunnel.local_bind_port)

How to connect via mongoose and a ssh tunnel

I have setup my mongod.conf as follows so it only allows localhost connection.
storage:
dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb
journal:
enabled: true
systemLog:
destination: file
logAppend: true
path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
net:
port: 27017
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
I then want my site to ssh into the mongodb so the port has to be converted to localhost.
However how can I integrate this with mongoose's connect function?
mongoose.connect(configDB.url, function(err){
if (err){
console.log('Error connecting to mongodb: ' + err)
}
});
I have found the following command but I am not sure if this is what I need:
ssh -L 4321:localhost:27017 -i ~/.ssh/ssh_key user#ip-adress
This should ssh me via port 4321 to the localhost right? So I think I need something like this in the nodejs mongoose's connect function. I've tried to read up on this on the mongodb security tutorials but I cannot link their instructions to nodejs at all. Anyone who has experience with this?
You're nearly there. Set up the tunnel independent of node:
ssh -Nf -p [db_server_ssh_port] [mongo_user]#[mongo_domain] -L \
[local_db_port]:localhost:[remote_db_port]
And then within node, connect to mongo using [local_db_port]:
mongoose.connect(
"mongodb://localhost:[local_db_port]/[db_name]",
{"pass":"[db_pwd]"}
)
All the traffic sent to [local_db_port] on the web server will be sent through the tunnel to port [remote_db_port] on [mongo_domain]. The following post gives more info. It's connecting to a MySQL database, but the principle is the same.
Connect to MySQL using SSH Tunneling in node-mysql
Set up the tunnel independent of node:
ssh -L [your given port]:localhost:27017 [username of ssh]#[ip address of ssh matchine] -f -N
after that you have include your given port for mongo database.
In the nodejs you have to setup for mongoose connection like this
'mongodb://localhost:[your given port number]/[database name]'

Using Navicat to login to Postgresql via SSH - what are the correct settings?

I am trying to log into PostgreSQL on my EC2 server via SSH using Navicat.
I get the following error message:
"80070007: SSH Tunnel: Socket error on connecting. WSAGetLastError return 10061($274D)"
On the server, the "role" postgres already exists, and there is already a database called postgres. I have assigned a password to postgres (using ALTER NAME command via Putty).
The SSH settings I am using in Navicat are:
Port: 5432
User Name: [admin user name]
Authentication Method: Public Key
The Connection settings are:
Host Name: localhost
Port: 3306
Initial Database: postgres
User Name: postgres
Password: [password]
When I connect to the MySQL server on the same machine, the settings are exactly the same except for:
SSH to Port 22
User Name (for connection): root (with corresponding password)
I have tried the SSH to port 22, in which case the error message is:
"could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 60122?
received invalid response to SSL negotiation:4"
Any ideas on what settings I need to change to get this to work?
Your config seems to be very wrong.
ssh port should be not 5432, but 22 (ssh default).
postgresql port should be not 3306 (this is actually MySQL), but 5432 (postgres default)
To verify your setup, try ssh-ing into your EC2 instance manually.
After you ssh in, check if you can execute "telnet localhost 5432".
If you see an error immediately, that would mean that postgres server is not running.
If you see nothing - this is good sign and means that Postgres is running.
You can quit from this by Ctrl-], q, Enter.
Note that EC2 instances may require you to use ssh public key authentication (not a password). In this case, you will have to find option in Navicat to provide such a key.

Node.js: Hooking repl to a remote node server

Let's say I have a node server running at mysite.com. Is there a way to set up that server so that I can use node's repl api to securely connect to it from my local machine?
Well, if you used this example:
net.createServer(function (socket) {
repl.start("node via TCP socket> ", socket);
}).listen(5001, "localhost");
And firewalled that port 5001, you should be able to securely connect to it using ssh:
ssh user#host nc localhost 5001
In this case, the security relies on your firewall, and ssh.
