I’m having trouble connecting to my managed postgres DB via jdbc.
- I connect via PSQL and setup my db with no issues.
- I’m connecting a fairly obscure database on top of it (datomic.com)
- When I connect via the params below, I get a TIMEOUT.
protocol=sql
host=db-postgresql-nyc3-dbnum-do-user-accnum-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com
port=25060
sql-url=jdbc:postgresql://db-postgresql-nyc3-dbnum-do-user-accnum-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com/datomic
sql-user=u
sql-password=p
sql-driver-class=org.postgresql.Driver
sql-driver-params=ssl=true
I’m leaning towards it being something with ssl or jdbc, but I don’t know what. I’m currently not using any trusted sources or security of any type.

Hi there,
As you are hitting a timeout error, this indicates that the problem might be related to the Postgres trusted sources. Where is the Datomic instance running on? You might have to add the IP address of the server where the Datomic instance is running on to your Postgres trusted sources list.
As a quick test, you could also extend the SSL parameter to:
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
