Database Setup
ID #1024
Can I access MySQL or PostgreSQL via localhost or through a local socket?
No - both databases are on a separate machine in our network, so they must be accessed via TCP/IP. You should use db.geekisp.com for the hostname, and the standard ports for the database.
Note that db.geekisp.com does not allow external connections. If you'd like to use a desktop-based database manager, you're encouraged to configure an SSH tunnel to forward a connection from localhost to db.geekisp.com.
As an alternative, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin are available under the Member Tools section.

Do you have suggestions on how to do this?
