• Finally getting a chance to tinker with fly.io!

  • launch a Postgres DB with flyctl postgres create

• If you want to connect to a fly.io postgres with PgAdmin you need to proxy the internal url to localhost and on specfy port with the command

fly proxy 6543:5432 -a app-name Proxying local port 6543 to remote [app-name.internal]:5432

this exposes internal fly.io db to localhost:6543
