User `postgres` was denied access on the database `postgres.public` about blues-stack

[tconroy]

I found that modifying my .env DATABASE_URL to specify my user account name (instead of postgres), seems to fix this:

- DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"
+ DATABASE_URL="postgresql://tom:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"

But not entirely sure why? Would be nice is postgres worked so any developer on my team could get up and running quickly.

I had this problem and it was related to having postgres installed and running on my mac separately from the remix instance inside Docker.

Killing the local install solved it for me.

Same problem here. By the way, which user name do you mean?

This works for me. I had a separate instance of posgres running aside from the one running in my docker container. stoping the local postgres instance made resolve the issue.

This is on an M1 MacBook Pro, running Docker Desktop 4.6.1 (76265). Otherwise just followed exact setup in the README.

# psql -U postgres
psql (11.3 (Debian 11.3-1.pgdg90+1))
Type "help" for help.

Same issue. Same versions. Updating to user name in env DATABASE_URL also worked for me.

Same error here, just bootstrapped a new blues stack. strangely the one I bootstrapped couple of days ago (pretty sure less than 19 days) didn't fail 🤔

Also found prisma/prisma#6778

Update: Not sure what's the exact solution as I docker-compose down && docker-compose up --force-recreate a bunch of times though I changed POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD & POSTGRES_DB as well as DATABASE_URL in .env

Same problem here. By the way, which user name do you mean?

@Saad29: I mean the name of your user account. What you see when you run this in your shell:

echo $USER

looking into this a bit, haven't found anything out of the ordinary in these set ups or during a bit of googling..

but in the interim, you should be able to do the following instead:

version: "3.7"
services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
-   environment:
-     - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
-     - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
-     - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
+   env_file:
+   	— .env
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

then add the following to a .env file

POSTGRES_USER=myuser
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
POSTGRES_DB=postgres

you might also be able to keep the password/db in the compose env, but im not sure if those are a one or the other type of thing

Feel free to re-open it if it's still a problem.

My issue is related to postgres in another server, when I try it it shows

Error: Can't reach database server at `undefined.34.121.158.52`:`5432`

But just with this remix app, with nestjs and using local db it works normally

[postmeback]

I have implemented all the above suggestions, but none helps. Also, I am pretty new to Postgres, so would be nice if any suggestion comes up.

Please reopen the issue

[lexNwimue]

@postmeback did you eventually find a fix? I'm in the same shoes now
