ssh-tunnel-db-connection

This bash script establishes an SSH connection and maps a specific remote server's port to a local port on your machine. This is useful when you want to securely access a remote service like database.

Usage

1. Clone the script:

   git clone https://github.com/cemre-2187/ssh-tunnel-db-connection.git
   cd ssh-tunnel-db-connection

2. Edit the script:

   nano dbConnection.sh

   Modify the default settings for security reasons:

   # Target SSH server's IP address
   server_ip="0.0.0.0"
   
   # Target remote port number
   server_port="5432"
   
   # Target local port number
   local_port="5433"
   
   # Username
   username="your_username"
   
   # Password
   password="your_password"

3. Save and exit the script.

4. Run the script:

   sh dbConnection.sh

   This command will open the specified SSH connection and enter the password.

5. You can now access the remote service on your local machine using the specified (!!!Important)local port.

Attention

• This script should only be used in a secure environment.
