I've been trying to make Postgres available over the network but so far have been unable to do so.
According to netstat, postgres is listening on the right port:
#netstat -anltp | grep 5432
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2385/postgres
But when I try to nmap from another device, the port appears to be closed.
#nmap -p 5432 marvin
Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-10-31 10:31 CET
Nmap scan report for marvin (*.*.*.*)
Host is up (0.00048s latency).
rDNS record for *.*.*.*: marvin.*.*
PORT STATE SERVICE
5432/tcp closed postgresql
My guess is, it has to do something with the fact that I'm using a hostname instead of an IP, but since the IP changes here every so often, I'd rather use the hostname.
I've already set listen_addresses = '*', which was the solution to another similar problem I've found here, but to no avail. I've also experimented with different settings in the pg_hba.conf but the port remained closed.
host all all .jarvis trust
host all all jarvis trust
host all all 0.0.0.0/24 trust
I've also used several examples I've found for my iptables, but no luck there either.
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:postgresqlflags: FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere Marvin tcp spts:1024:65535 dpt:postgresql state NEW,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:postgresql
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- Marvin anywhere tcp spt:postgresql dpts:1024:65535 state ESTABLISHED
And lastly, I've tried to connect via telnet, no luck there either
telnet marvin 5432
Trying *.*.*.*...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refusedo connect to the port
Yet, there are no issues on 22.
telnet marvin 22
Trying *.*.*.*...
Connected to marvin.*.*.

Can anyone tell me if there's a setting somewhere I misinterpreted or of its an issue with using hostnames?
Look at your netstat output again. You are only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1). Check your config file and restart PostgreSQL.
