Hey @JoelOtter,

I had a similar question a little bit ago, and was able to get everything working with a Postgres DB in Digital Ocean. Here are some notes on how I was able to get that working if it helps: [Setting up DBA with Nakama](https://forum.heroiclabs.com/t/setting-up-dba-with-nakama/588)  
Let me know if you have any questions on it!
