Hi guys im new in Digital Ocean and im trying to deploy a personal project. My issue happens when i try to migrate into a production database in a droplet rails app
This is my database.YML
-
default: &default
-
adapter: postgresql
-
encoding: unicode
-
pool: <%= ENV.fetch(“RAILS_MAX_THREADS”) { 5 } %>
-
production:
-
<<: *default
-
secret_key_base: <%= ENV[“SECRET_KEY”] %>
-
username: <%= ENV[“DATABASE_USER”] %>
-
password: <%= ENV[“DATABASE_PASSWORD”] %>
-
database: <%= ENV[“DATABASE”] %>
-
host: <%= ENV[“DATABASE_HOST”] %>
these are the steps im following
- Cd Into rails app on VM
- rails s -d -b 0.0.0.0 RAILS_ENV=production
At this point the production server is “online”
then i want to get migrations by running this:
- rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
and this is the issue:
Caused by:PG::ConnectionBad: FATAL: database “root” does not exist
Rails -v 6.0.3.4
Ruby -v 2.7.1

Hi there,
The error that you are getting indicates that you’ve defined root as the database that you want to use, but that database does not seem to exist.
What I could suggest is:
- Connect to your Managed database with any SQL client like Table Plus or DBever.
- Create a new database for your project.
- Then use that new database in your env variables.
For more information on how to do that you can follow the steps here:

Best,
