I'm trying to deploy typebot to a server, I've managed to set up the reverse proxy and have access to the site. I'm going through the login options then it fails to log in.

I'm getting this error from my builder when I try to login:

Can't reach database server at localhost:5432

It means the builder container can't reach your database. The hostname localhost:5432 looks strange, are you sure about your DATABASE_URL value?

Wow so simple when you know how 🙂 Missed that setting haha

Hmmm still struggling how should I format the new DATABASE_URL: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:typebot@mydomain.com:5432/typebot or should I be using the IP address of my server?
