Connect to mongo database, given ssh key

Question

I am trying to use pymongo to connect to a mongo database.

I have been given: DB_name DB_username DB_password DB_port SSH_address SSH_username mongo RSA private key (.pem file)

I have tried running

from pymongo import MongoClient

client = MongoClient(host=SSH_address,
                     port=DB_port,
                     username=DB_username,
                     password=DB_password)

client.list_database_names()

but get a timed out error.

How can I pass the remaining information (such as the RSA private key) to MongoClient, so that I can successfully connect?

You need to use a ssh tunnel service of some sort. heres an example. — Tom Slabbaert

Thank you. In the end, what made it work creating a folder ~/.ssh and adding in the .pem file — EuRBamarth

Using SSH tunnel client to connect the MongoDB client works for me:

server = SSHTunnelForwarder(
    (MONGO_HOST, MONGO_PORT),
    ssh_username=MONGO_USER,
    ssh_password=MONGO_PASS,
    remote_bind_address=('127.0.0.1', 27017)
)
