Local Database
You can connect SeekWell to a local database using ngrok. For more information, see:
Exposing networked services
TCP tunnels allow you to expose any networked service that runs over TCP. This is commonly used to expose SSH, game servers (for example, Minecraft), databases and more.
To start a TCP tunnel, follow these steps:
-
Sign up. Ngrok is free to all users.
-
Install your authtoken.
$ ngrok authtoken YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
-
Create your secure tunnel.
$ ngrok tcp port
For example, to expose a MySQL database, with a port 3306, use:
$ ngrok tcp 3306
Then, you can see the ngrok UI in your terminal, for example:
Session Status online Account jotarios (Plan: Free) Version 2.2.8 Region United States (us) Web Interface http://127.0.0.1:4041 Forwarding tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:14563 -> localhost:3306 Connections ttl opn rt1 rt5 p50 p90 68 0 0.00 0.00 0.89 28.70
In this example, you can access to your database through 0.tcp.ngrok.io:14563
