Hi @Ricardo Batista. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It looks like you're having an issue connecting your Wasp app to a DigitalOcean database. The error message indicates a permission issue where the
doadmin user is being denied access to the defaultdb.public database.
To connect your Wasp app to an external database like DigitalOcean's PostgreSQL, you need to:
1. Set up the DATABASE_URL environment variable in your .env.server file with the correct connection string from DigitalOcean.
2. Make sure the database user (in this case doadmin) has the proper permissions to access the database.
Based on the knowledge sources, Wasp supports external database hosting. As mentioned in one of the sources, "vincanger used Supabase database via DATABASE_URL and it worked fine" Support for external db hosting, so connecting to DigitalOcean should also work.
For your specific error, it seems like a permissions issue with the DigitalOcean database. You might need to:
1. Check if you've correctly set up the connection string in your .env.server file
2. Verify that the doadmin user has the proper permissions in your DigitalOcean database
3. Make sure the database name in your connection string matches an existing database in your DigitalOcean setup
If you're using the default connection string from DigitalOcean, you might need to create the specific tables your app needs. After connecting to the database, you'll need to run migrations with wasp db migrate-dev to create the necessary tables.
Remember that when deploying a Wasp app, you need to switch to PostgreSQL if you were using SQLite during development.

Sorry @Ricardo Batista, 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 how do I ensure that the doadmin user has the proper permissions in your DigitalOcean database?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about configuring permissions for a DigitalOcean database user like
doadmin. The knowledge sources focus on Wasp's database functionality but don't contain details about managing permissions in external database providers like DigitalOcean.
For your Wasp application to connect to a DigitalOcean database, you need to ensure the database user has proper permissions, but the specific steps to do this would be handled through DigitalOcean's platform rather than through Wasp itself.
What we do know from the knowledge sources is that Wasp supports any PostgreSQL database as long as you provide the correct DATABASE_URL environment variable and ensure the database is accessible from your server, as mentioned in the deployment documentation.
I recommend checking DigitalOcean's documentation for managing database user permissions, or contacting their support for assistance with configuring the doadmin user's permissions for your specific database.
Once you have the correct permissions set up, you can use the connection string in your Wasp app's .env.server file to connect to the database.
I apologize that the knowledge sources don't contain the specific information about DigitalOcean database permission management that you're looking for.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?Hey @Ricardo Batista, this looks like a database connection url issue, not specific to Wasp.
I recommend trying to connect to the database manually (outside of a Wasp app) using your credentials, and consulting the digital ocean docs until you get it right (I'm not sure what the specific problem is here).
Once you can connect to the database manually, then you'll know the right connection string (
DATABASE_URL) for Wasp.Trying to battle with it, seems like DO is blocking something
Any luck yet?
Couldn’t figure it out. It might be DO being picky, not worth the effort for now
Bummer. If you decide to go for it again and need help, feel free to ping me (even if not Wasp related).
