when executing the command:

docker run --rm --init -it -v “$PWD”:/usr/src/app -v ~/.forest.d:/usr/src/cli/.forest.d -e TOKEN\_PATH=“/usr/src/cli” forestadmin/toolbelt projects:create:sql “Skills-DB” --databaseConnectionURL “postgres://postgres: **REMOVED** @host.docker.internal:5432/postgres?schema=public” --applicationHost “localhost” --applicationPort “3310” --databaseSchema “public”","syscall

I get this error:

**×** Cannot connect to the database due to the following error:

**×** {“name”:“SequelizeConnectionRefusedError”,“parent”:{“errno”:-111,“code”:“ECONNREFUSED”,“syscall”:“connect”,“address”:“192.168.65.2”,“port”:5432},“original”:{“errno”:-111,“code”:“ECONNREFUSED”,“syscall”:“connect”,“address”:“192.168.65.2”,“port”:5432}}

the address and port are correct… they are different from the information we entered in the setup panel…

Hello @pdango 👋

Welcome to the forest community 😁, do you manage to connect to your postgres with the URL of the command 🤔?

Kind regards,

Florian
