Hi folks! First and foremost, thank you for sharing this awesome project!

I'm trying to set up a development instance, but unfortunately I'm unable to get the database working.

I've started the postgres container using docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml, but when I run the npm run server:db:init command, the app crashes saying: error: role "ghostly" does not exist.
The same error message appears in the log from postgres: FATAL: role "ghostly" does not exist.

As far as I understand, the apps seems to be able to talk with the db container, but the authentication fails.

Is there anything that I'm missing?

Hi! Oops, I forgot to change the user in the .env file after local development. I will fix it in the next commit.

Yes! Just found out that the DATABASE_URL variable in the server/.env file must be set as follows:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@localhost/planka
