Hi… If you’re trying to connect from your local machine, then it is easiest to tunnel through with fly proxy:

https://fly.io/docs/postgres/connecting/connecting-with-flyctl/

(Doing so makes it appear as if the database was running on localhost—but in reality traffic is being passed along by flyctl.)

By default, the .flycast and .internal addresses are not available on your desktop.

For that, you would need the db-app-name.fly.dev style of address (among other changes).

https://fly.io/docs/postgres/connecting/connecting-external/

It’s generally best to tunnel, if you can.
