wallet-api-1 | Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: role "waltid" does not exist #183
I am trying to start wallet-api-1 , but I am keep getting this error PSQLException: FATAL: role "waltid" does not exist
Basically: wallet-api container cannot connect to the PostgreSQL database due to a missing PostgreSQL role (waltid). The error FATAL: role "waltid" does not exist indicates that the waltid user role, which is required to establish the database connection, does not exist in the PostgreSQL instance. This issue prevents the wallet-api service from initializing and causes it to exit with an error
confusing part is I am seeing waltId rol (superUser) and waltId db inside the PostgreSQL instance running inside the Docker container.
