Manipulating production database with fly.io and wasp db studio
@kapa.ai
I used the Wasp CLI to deployed my db (
skyblaze-db). I followed the tutorial by:
Run fly proxy 5432 -a skyblaze-db and got Proxying local port 5432 to remote [skyblaze-db.internal]:5432
Put DATABASE_URL in my .env.server: DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:<password>@localhost:5432/skyblaze-db
However I got
When I run wasp db studio.
My question is:
1. is the database password something I got when first deployed to fly.io, with 15 characters? I got the message
2. If so, which sould be correct?
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:<credential>@localhost:5432/skyblaze-db
or
DATABASE_URL=postgres://skyblaze_server:<credential>@skyblaze-db.flycast:5432/skyblaze_server?sslmode=disable
3. How should I fix the
?
Thanks!8 Replies
Hi @William Jin. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Wohooo @William Jin, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help you with your questions about manipulating the production database with Fly.io and Wasp DB studio. Let's address your questions one by one:
1. Yes, the database password is the one you received when you first deployed to Fly.io. The credential in the
b. In your
c. Open a new terminal window and run
DATABASE_URL you received is the correct password to use.
2. The correct format for your DATABASE_URL in the .env.server file should be:
Where <password> is the credential you received during deployment, and <db_name> is your database name. In your case, it seems the database name is skyblaze_server, not skyblaze-db.
So, the correct DATABASE_URL should be:
Note that we use localhost instead of skyblaze-db.flycast because you're using the fly proxy command to tunnel the connection.
3. To fix the error you're encountering, make sure you've followed these steps:
a. Keep the fly proxy 5432 -a skyblaze-db command running in one terminal window.
b. In your
.env.server file, make sure you have the correct DATABASE_URL as mentioned above.
c. Open a new terminal window and run
wasp db studio from there.
If you're still encountering issues, it might be helpful to double-check a few things:
- Ensure nothing else is running on port 5432 locally.
- Make sure you've closed the tunnel and removed the DATABASE_URL from .env.server after you're done to avoid accidentally connecting to the production database later.
For more detailed information on this process, you can refer to this GitHub issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464) which provides a step-by-step guide on seeding a production database on Fly.io.
If you're still having trouble after following these steps, it might be worth reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel for more specific assistance.

Sorry @William Jin, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai Tried with your URL,
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:<credential>@localhost:5432/skyblaze_server?sslmode=disable but still got the same error:
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the continued issue. Let's try to troubleshoot this further based on the information available in our knowledge sources.
1. First, make sure you're running the
fly proxy command in one terminal window:
This should show a message like "Proxying local port 5432 to remote [skyblaze-db.internal]:5432".
2. In another terminal window, try to connect to the database using the psql command to verify if the connection is working:
Replace <credential> with your actual password.
3. If the psql command doesn't work, we might need to double-check the database name and password. According to the GitHub issue about seeding production databases (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464), you can try these steps to get the correct information:
To get the DB name:
Then type \l to list the databases.
To get the DB password:
Then type echo $OPERATOR_PASSWORD
4. Once you have the correct database name and password, update your .env.server file with the correct DATABASE_URL.
5. Before running wasp db studio, make sure no other processes are using port 5432. You can check this on most systems with:
If anything is using this port, you'll need to stop it first.
6. If you're still encountering issues, there might be a problem with the Fly.io configuration or the database itself. In this case, you might want to reach out to Wasp support on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1215223623271321661) for more specific assistance.
Remember, when you're done, make sure to close the tunnel and remove the DATABASE_URL from your .env.server file to avoid accidentally connecting to the production database in the future.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be helpful to share more details about your setup and any error messages you're seeing with the Wasp community for more tailored support.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai Thanks kapa! Seems I didn't use the correct
OPERATOR_PASSWORD. I put in the correct password and killed my local wasp db (which ran on port 5432) and the wasp db studio worked successfully.Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue and successfully connect to your production database using
wasp db studio! It's great that you identified the correct OPERATOR_PASSWORD and cleared the port 5432 by stopping your local Wasp database. These were indeed the key steps to getting it working.
Just a friendly reminder: Now that you've finished working with the production database, make sure to:
1. Close the fly proxy tunnel you opened.
2. Remove the DATABASE_URL from your .env.server file.
These precautions will help prevent accidental connections to your production database in the future, which is important for maintaining data security and integrity.
If you need to connect to your production database again in the future, you can follow the same steps:
1. Open the tunnel with fly proxy
2. Set the correct DATABASE_URL in .env.server
3. Run wasp db studio
And don't forget to clean up afterwards each time.
Is there anything else you'd like to know about managing your Wasp database or deploying with Fly.io?
