SSH Tunnelling Issues with mongoexport, mongorestore and mongosh

I thought I’d revive this post given that I’m still experiencing the issues described…

Some further thoughts:

  • I’m currently refactoring part of these scripts to use Node/Javascript instead of bash + mongosh.
  • I may change how I control my ssh tunnel so that my script runs faster
    • currently I’m using ssh tunnels that auto-close,
    • I’m going to play around with ssh’s master mode, to send control commands over a socket
    • see this post for a discussion on the different approaches
