Datastores

porter datastore connect creates a secure tunnel through which you can connect to your Porter-provisioned datastore locally. For example: 
porter datastore connect <YOUR_DATASTORE_NAME>
Example output from running this command: 
Secure tunnel setup complete! While the tunnel is running, you can connect to your datastore using the following credentials:
 Host: 127.0.0.1
 Port: 8122
 Database name: postgres
 Password: <YOUR_DATASTORE_PASSWORD>

Starting proxy...[CTRL-C to exit]
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8122 -> 6379
Forwarding from [::1]:8122 -> 6379
Handling connection for 8122
While the secure tunnel is running, you can run the following command in a separate shell to connect to your datastore (assuming the datastore is a redis cache): 
redis-cli -p 8122 -a <YOUR_DATASTORE_PASSWORD> --tls

​
Port

If you would like to specify the port on which to connect to the secure tunnel, you can use the --port flag. By default, this is set to 8122. 
porter datastore connect <YOUR_DATASTORE_NAME> --port <YOUR_PORT>
