This is my .env file

JWT_SECRET='UserNews'
DB_LINK='postgres://root:root@localhost:5432/SCROLL001?ssl=true'

This is connection file.

const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.DB_LINK, {
  dialect: 'postgres',
  protocol: 'postgres',
  dialectOptions: {
    ssl: {
      require: 'true'
    }
  }
});

Answer 1

I have solved the issue.

const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.DB_LINK, {
  dialect: 'postgres',
  protocol: 'postgres',
  dialectOptions: {}, //removed ssl
});

Change the DB Link

DB_LINK='postgres://root:root@localhost:5432/SCROLL001'

Answer 2

You haven`t used dialectOptions correctly.

Just make the following changes:

const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.DB_LINK, {
  dialect: 'postgres',
  protocol: 'postgres',
  dialectOptions: {
    ssl: true,
    native:true
  }
});

native flag for using a native library or not.In the case of 'pg' -- set this to true will allow SSL support, default value is false. reference link

Answer 3

It is recommended to use SSL for connections in production applications. You can continue to use an SSL connection using while circumventing it locally using:

const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.DB_LINK, {
  dialect: 'postgres',
  protocol: 'postgres',
  ssl: process.env.DB_ENABLE_SSL,
  dialectOptions: {
    ssl: process.env.DB_ENABLE_SSL && {
      require: true
    }
  }
});
