django connect remote postgresql

Question

Trying to connect to a remote server, serving my posgresql

My settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase',
        'USER': 'mydatabaseuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
        'HOST': '[email protected]',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

Getting error:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not translate host name "[email protected]" to address: Name or service not known

Where the hostname and host is of course not hostname and host, just using for this example.

For the host, you have to pass the ip address or the domain name of your postgresql host instance.

'HOST': 'host.com'

or

'HOST': '<ip_address>'
