Connect using SSH tunnel about pgweb HOT 4 CLOSED

Can't someone who knows how to tunnel just set it up before running pgweb? I think it is normal to setup a tunnel or SOCKS proxy separately from a client. Do other pg clients make this easy?

1. We could write the feature to support ssh only.
2. We could allow the user could configure any executable to build the tunnel. It should print host:port or host port when ready.

I've only used Putty on Windows, and it was a long time ago. It supported SOCKS, at least.

Back when I was a Windows user there was a pretty standard tool for solving
this problem that most people used to create ssh tunnels. I wish I could
remember what it was called. Maybe I used to use Putty for that? Could be.

I agree with Chris' assessment which is that merging this functionality
into pgweb would be weird. Maybe not full-on wrong, but not really high on
the list of things I'd expect such a system to do. I'd probably start with
a documentation fix and go from there, particularly since each platform
will be different and probably get more different over time.

Yeah, i posted instructions on how to connect via ssh gateway. But the reason why i want to merge this functionality into pgweb is to simplify usage. Go has ssh support so it just makes sense to implement native support.

Closing this issue for now. SSH support might be added some day.
