Connect a remote mysql server to symfony(doctrine) over ssh

Question

im creating a symfony Application and I need access to a database that is on another server(via ssh). How would I do something like that?

I could'nt find any option for that in the doctrine documentation.

Answer 1

if the database server not open the database port, so you must be use the ssh as the middle protocol like this.

$host = 'remote host';
$sshuser = 'ssh user';
$sshpass = 'ssh password';
$dbuser = 'db user';
$dbpass = 'db pass';
$dbname = 'db name';

shell_exec("ssh -p$sshpass ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -f -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 $sshuser@$host");

$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=' .$dbname. '', $dbuser, $dbpass);

then use $dhb to interact with your database.

may be you must write some code on doctrine library for do your idea.

Answer 2

You have to open an SSH tunnel.

See Can I SSH to MySQL with the GUI tools? or Access Your MySQL Server Remotely Over SSH .

For parameters.yml this looks like a local MySql server, wich menans there's nothing special.
