Database connection with SSH Tunnel

To setup a SSH tunnel, a public ssh key must be added to the machines users ~/.ssh/authorized_key file. Below is the public key to add.


# Please contact support@tractorscope.com to obtain the public key.

Then add the database to Tractorscope’s interface. The user name that the SSH key is installed for will need to be used in the SSH user input

Depending on the machines settings, you may need to add the following to enable RSA key authentication.

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add the following:


# Adding for tractorscope rsa ssh key
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

After you have made that change, restart sshd with systemctl restart sshd

You should be connecting through the SSH tunnel now.
