}

// for traditional and direct connection, Dsn is like: user:pass@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/dbname?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local
// for connection connected through SSH tunnel, Dsn is like: user:pass@mysql+tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/dbname?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local
conn, err := gorm.Open(gormMySQL.Open(mysqlConf.Dsn), &gorm.Config{

this doesnt work

could you provide detailed error message?
