MONGO Connection over SSH Tunnel

[khatri789]

Hi !
Wonderful MUP. Works great!
I have two droplets on DO.
Srv1> running MONGO on 27017 &
Other Srv2> is where I am planning to Run Meteor.

I want to be able to connect to Mongo on Srv2> over SSH and have set up SSH Tunnel between Srv1> and Srv2> & have made necessary changes to firewall and mongo conf on Srv2>

For SSH tunnel did on Srv1> -- ssh -L 4321:localhost:27017 user@your.ip.address -f -N on

When I do mongo --port 4321 on Srv1> - am able to connect, query and see the DB on Srv2>

Now in Mup
a> Tried to start and connect to MONGO on Srv1> itself - it works great.
Also
b> Removed "mongo" section and in MONGO_URL if I set <IP_OF_2:27017>\meteor - I am able to connect to it and it works good. (So this is connecting thro firewall to MongodB on Srv 2 but not through SSH)

Now to be able to connect the Meteor on Srv1> and Mongo Srv2> over SSH - I tried various options
but not able to connect. While Deployment Verification the deployment fails.

I have tried removing "mongo" section and setting MONGO_URL as
mongodb://127.0.0.1:4321/, mongodb://localhost:4321/,

Also tried

keeping "mongo" section with port as "4321" and removing port # from MONGO_URL but no luck.

Anyone tried this? Am I missing this.. or MUP assumes that Localhost only as Docker container?
Any other option I am missing, don't know ?

I have exactly the same problem in AWS (Connecting through ssh)
I also tried to connect to mongodb running in the same server.
I always get the following error after starting Meteor
failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect
or
failed to connect to server [ip_address:27017] on first connect

I'm using: setupMongo: false and no mongo object
I can connect to the mongodb using a client (robomongo)

I have the same problem.

I have two meteor applications sharing one separate instance of mongodb in the same server. But when I try deploy I get the following error:
failed to connect to server [127.0.0.1:27017] on first connect

Anybody knows how to solve that?
