Direct Database Connection Refusing Port 5432 After Working Yesterday
What I'm trying to achieve: Connect to my Supabase database using direct database access (my account has the ipv4 add-on) through a Docker container running Letta/MemGPT.
What's going wrong: Connection was working perfectly yesterday, but today getting "Connection refused" on port 5432. The database host IP appears to be completely unreachable.
pg8000.exceptions.InterfaceError: Can't create a connection to host db.pvxhhmwxdcsvlqouptuc.supabase.co and port 5432
pg8000.exceptions.InterfaceError: Can't create a connection to host db.pvxhhmwxdcsvlqouptuc.supabase.co and port 5432
Troubleshooting completed: - Verified no configuration changes on my end - Confirmed direct database access is enabled in dashboard - Checked Supabase status page (no outages) - Network tests show 100% packet loss to the IP address - DNS resolution works correctly
Supabase gives you the tools, documentation, and community that makes managing databases, authentication, and backend infrastructure a lot less overwhelming.
