      Hi I am having issues getting started with self-hosted FusionAuth on a DigitalOcean droplet connecting to a managed database cluster also run by DO. When I SSH into the droplet and use psql, I am able to successfully connect to the database. Yet maintenance mode tells me it cannot connect to the database.

      So I attempted to use silent mode, which also failed, but when I looked at the logs it was throwing Error: database "postgres" does not exist. The connection string in the properties file is:

      database.url=jdbc:postgresql://dbaas-db-7248475-do-user-18093844-0.l.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/fusionauth

      So why is it trying to connect to postgres rather than fusionauth?
