Question

Deploy Spring boot Application with Postgresql (pgadmin4) and Managed DB

Hello,

I am connecting Postgresql Managed Database(From DO) with pgadmin4(local Postgresql) so that I can deploy spring boot application on Ubuntu server(Droplet). The local database created on pgadmin4 also reflects on Droplet with tables and data in it. I am getting errors related to Database when I run spring boot application.

java -jar App_Service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.profiles.active=prod

The spring boot application is running without any errors on local machine but has errors on Ubuntu machine(droplet).

Hi there,

According to your error here:

FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

The problem is that your app is trying to use postgres as the database username.

You need to make sure that you are using the prod Spring profile which contains the correct database details, you could try with -Dspring.profiles.active=prod:

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
