Question

DBeaver SSH connect with DigitalOcean/MySql

After trying every solution that I could find, nothing worked. So I’m posting my question here.

Followed instructions on how to connect but always getting same error

Can't initialize tunnel
  Cannot establish tunnel
    com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail

My connection settings: Server Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 3306 Username: database username Password: database password

Network: Host/IP: myIPaddress Port: 22 User Name: hostname Authentification Method: Public Key Private Key: ….ssh\id_rsa

What am I doing wrong here?

So, that was stupid of me.

It should be my IP address insted of 127.0.0.1.

Now it works like a charm.

On command I’m getting telnet myipaddress 22

Trying myipaddress ...
Connected to myipaddress.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.1
Connection closed by foreign host.

Does that have somenting to do with not connesting?

And now I’m getting

Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 miliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from server.

bind-address is my IP address, tried comment it out, still not working.

Can’t find 50-server.cnf just /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Not quite sure what I need to modify in here?

I’m using hostname for network connection (SSH Tunnel), for connection setting username.
