Hi Everyone,

I am able to access my postgres db via pgadmin using the following steps:

- Remove the expose port code my your app.yml and rebuild the app.
- Go to your server management portal (i.e Digital Ocean, AWS etc). Create a firewall rule which opens port 5432.
- Using pgadmin SSH tab: sign into your server using the server address and credentials.

Let me know if this works for you.

Kind Regards,  
Kimberly
