I cannot connect to the postgres service via the private database url on my laravel application. When I use the public database url it works fine but with a high latency that returns timeout errors sometimes. When I use the private database url I get this error:

railway SQLSTATE[08006] [7] could not translate host name "postgres.railway.internal" to address: Name or service not known

I need to be able to connect the private database to reduce the latency and keep my application up and running without database timeout errors.

Hello,

The private network is not available during build, so can you adjust your build and pre-deploy commands accordingly -

Build -> npm run build && php artisan optimize

Pre-Deploy -> php artisan migrate --force

And then switch the database URL back to the private URL.
