Issue: Could not connect to remote DocumentDB

[Alon-Katz]

Hey, I am trying to use this package which seems awesome but unfortunately I can't get it to work.
Can you please provide an example with parameters ?

Here's my not working example:

const sshCert = fs.readFileSync('./access-mongodb.pem').toString();
const sslCert = fs.readFileSync('./rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem').toString();

MONGOOSE.init({
    env: 'remote',
    makeTunnel: true,
    sslCA: sslCert,
    vpcTunnelEC2Username: "ec2-username",
    vpcTunnelEC2Host: "ec2-ip",
    vpcTunnelEC2Port: 22,
    vpcTunnelEC2PortLocal: 27017,
    vpcTunnelEC2PrivateKey: sshCert,
    documentdbClusterEndpoint: "dbname.identifier.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com",
    documentdbClusterPort: 27017,
    documentdbClusterDbName: "dbname",
    documentdbClusterUsername: "mongo-username",
    documentdbClusterPassword: "mongo-password",
    documentdbEndpoint: "dbname.identifier.us-east-1.docdb.amazonaws.com",
    documentdbPort: 27017,
})

Anything seems wrong? I am getting

HTTPError: Error. Could not connect to remote DocumentDB through our EC2 ssh tunnel with Mongoose.

Thanks!

I am also having the same issue @Alon-Katz is describing above. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi @aldomatic @Alon-Katz, I wouldn't recommend using those packages.

While it seemed like a good idea at first, I would much more recommend using some much simpler SSH port forwarding command like the one recommended in AWS documentations instead. Also there are some potential vulnerabilities in the packages versions I've used.

You can also check this to help you setup that EC2.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the AWS settings I've done or the working example anymore :s.
