Not able to use local db

General
1

I have self-hosted using docker compose and see the db, server up and running.

When I try to register user it shows running sqlite database setup

ATUIN_LOG=debug atuin register -u user1 -e user1@email.com

server.toml file is below

cat config/atuin/server.toml

ATUIN_HOST = "0.0.0.0"

ATUIN_PORT = 8888



# Allow open registration of new users

ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION = true



# Database connection

# Host is 'db' because that is the service name in Docker Compose network

ATUIN_DB_URI = "postgres://${ATUIN_DB_USERNAME}:${ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD}@db/${ATUIN_DB_NAME}"



# Optional: logging level

RUST_LOG = "info,atuin_server=debug"
