Port forward to internal ip. Mongo on Dokku
Raw
tunnel.md

The mongo service need to have exposed ports as per the documentation.

Then, on the Dokku server run

dokku mongo:info <name>

take note of the internal ip of the Mongo server, exposed ports and the Mongo URI.

Then run

ssh -N -L 27017:<INTERNAL_IP>:27017 <USER>@<SERVER>

to create a port forwarding ssh-tunnel to the mongo instance.

Now you can connect to the db as if it was on localhost:27017. Get the password from the Mongo URI.

If using the Mongo URI directly, change the host to localhost, i.e.:

mongodb://<name>:<password>@localhost:27017/<name>
