How do I access PostgreSQL DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:30 pm

If you are looking for a way to easily access PostgreSQL on a DigitalOcean droplet, then you can use the following instructions.

First, create a new droplet with the following settings:

droplet size: 1GB

memory: 4GB

postgreSQL: enabled

Next, install the pgAdmin3 client on your computer. Once installed, open a new terminal window and change to the directory where pgAdmin3 is installed.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to access your PostgreSQL database on a DigitalOcean server, you may need to follow a few steps to connect. First, you will need to create a new user with the desired permissions. Then, you will need to modify the pg_hba.conf file to allow the new user to connect. Finally, you will need to restart the PostgreSQL service.

To connect to your DigitalOcean droplet, you will need the IP address and port number of the droplet. To find the IP address and port number of your droplet, open the DigitalOcean console and click on Droplets.

On the droplet that you want to access, click on the IP address and then click on the Details button. On the Details page, you will find the port number next to the Droplet Name.

To connect to your droplet using pgAdmin3, you will need to enter the IP address and port number into the pgAdmin3 client. To do this, open pgAdmin3 and click on the Server dropdown menu and select your droplet from the list.

Next, click on the Connect button and enter the IP address and port number of the droplet into the fields that appear. Click on the OK button to connect to the droplet.

Once you have connected to the droplet, you will be able to access the PostgreSQL server using the default user account and password.
