Access prod database from DigitalOcean

1

My app is deployed with mupx (credentials user and password) to DigitalOcean.

I was wondering how can i access the dbs and collections on that ubuntu server?

2

Use MongoChef (via Tab “SSH Tunnel” or Robomongo to connect from your local Laptop to the database, or connect via CLI on the server (command mongo - then "use " and “show collections”)

I tried with Robomongo and Mongoclient many times and i won’t connect either to localhost or to deployed database, tried so many times and no luck.

Now i managed to connect via terminat ssh user@x.x.x.x , i did mongo, and it connected to the ‘test’ database.
I would still like to know why i can’t connect via Robomongo or any other GUI :-/

Assuming your mongo is running at :27017, you can do this:

ssh -L 4001:localhost:27017 root@yourdomain.com

And then in robomongo, just connect to localhost:4001.

I’ve been down this rabbithole too many times to recommend trying anything else…

For me it is working (to DO server) via Mongochef:
Tab “Server” localhost:27017
Tab “SSh Tunnel” Check “use SSH Tunnel to connect”, SSH Adress: Server Address, SSH User Name: your linux user (ie root), SSH Auth Mode: password, SSh Password (i.e. root password)
