Fly.io -> Error: Can't reach database server about blues-stack

[mathimariman]

It looks like the FLY_REGION variable is causing the issue.
Error: Can't reach database server at ams.db-name-here.flycast:5432

Running the command fly postgres attach --app app-name-here db-name-here will create a database user and set the DATABASE_URL secret for the attached application.
-> This secret (DATABASE_URL) doesn't contain the FLY_REGION part (ams in my case)

In file app/db.server.ts I see that the FLY_REGION is added to the DATABASE_URL when not running on localhost:

if (!isLocalHost) {
databaseUrl.host = ${FLY_REGION}.${databaseUrl.host};
if (!isReadReplicaRegion) {
// 5433 is the read-replica port
databaseUrl.port = "5433";
}
}

By removing the line which is adding the FLY_REGION (databaseUrl.host = ${FLY_REGION}.${databaseUrl.host};, the deployment is successful again.

I have been testing with other regions as well -> same error

It works if you're logged in.
