railway run - DATABASE_URL vs DATABASE_PUBLIC_URL

Wondering if this is a bug. I've got a rails app deployed and it's using DATABASE_URL and it all works (migrations, jobs, etc). If I then use:

railway run bash

railway run bash

I look at

printenv

printenv

And I see DATABASE_URL set to the internal value. However if I run

rails c
User.count

rails c
User.count

it times out and can't reach postgres. If instead, I run:

DATABASE_URL=<PUBLIC_URL> rails c
User.count

DATABASE_URL=<PUBLIC_URL> rails c
User.count

it works. So i'm wondering why railway run isn't in the private network?

Solution:

please know that railway run, runs the commands locally
