Trouble bootstrapping with RDS --- could not open certificate file

installation
1

I’ve got a pretty standard install with databse on RDS. It was on 13.2 and I just upgraded it to 15.2. The existing container is working just fine.

When I bootstrap a new image, it migrates the database, precompiles assets

and then

and then later stuff like this:

It doesn’t make sense (to me) that it can migrate andprecompile but not upload assets.
If I get into the container as it’s building, I can connect to postgres using the credentials in the ENV.

I’ll work on getting the full log out of tmux. . .well, the buffer wasn’t very big and won’t fit here. I"ll try to make a bigger buffer, run another bootstrap, and stick the full log somewhere.

Turns out, you need

env:
  PGSSLCERT: /tmp/postgresql.crt

I don’t know where I figured this out, but it’s in the yml for the staging site, but not the production one. And it worked just fine until recently. It’s bizarre, because the database migrated just fine, and didn’t fail until it started trying to precompile assets.;
