django.db.utils.OperationalError: SSL SYSCALL error: Success when connecting to Postgres DB on new account

Django

Hi… The Success in this case may really be a misreported premature EOF:

https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/SSL_get_error.html

The best place to start looking is probably within your Django connection settings…

In particular, if access is via your own private Flycast network, then you typically can’t require SSL on the client side. E.g.,

# psql 'postgres://user_name:password@my-db-app-name.flycast:5432/database_name?sslmode=require'
psql: error: SSL SYSCALL error: Success

(Note the sslmode=require way over at the end of the first line.)
