When I attempt to connect to the database while spinning up docker service - it fails while connecting. I am using the connection string approach within my rails env. My logs and server info is below. I also tried setting up the docker compose env to test the db connection and it fails there as well.
rails env:
app-1 | [randomhash] ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished (connection to server at "ip", port 25060 failed: Connection refused
app-1 | Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
db:
[13-1] pid=-----,user=[unknown],db=[unknown],app=[unknown],client=[local] LOG: connection received: host=[local]

Hi there,
Are you deploying your Dockerized app on a Droplet or on the DigitalOcean App Platform?
If this is on a Droplet, you would need to make sure that you’ve done the following:
- Allow the Droplet’s IP address in the database cluster trusted sources as described here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mysql/how-to/secure/
- If you have a firewall on the Droplet itself, make sure that port
25060is open for outgoing TCP connections
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
