I'm trying to set up a Postgres database on EC2 for my Django project, but I'm having trouble connecting to it using DBeaver or PgAdmin. I've been following some guides, but nothing seems to be working. I want to avoid using RDS for now. Does anyone have tips or a step-by-step guide to help me get connected?

It sounds like a security group issue might be blocking your connection. You need to make sure your EC2 security group allows traffic on the Postgres port (which is 5432) from your local IP address. Double-check those settings and try connecting again.
There are a few possible reasons for this. Besides the security group settings, check if the Postgres config file is set to allow connections from your local address. Ensure the EC2 instance is properly listening on the correct port, and take a look at how peer authentication is configured in your Postgres setup.
Seems like a common problem! Confirm that your security group is set up correctly to allow inbound traffic to your DB port. If you've added the security group rules after creating your instance, it might not be updated yet. Remember, you can SSH into your EC2 instance from your Mac, so it’s likely an issue with the security settings.
