Laravel Vapor - Creating user fails on public dev database with error: jumpbox required

Question

The Laravel Vapor database documentation states:

To quickly create a publicly accessible database of the smallest performance class, you may use the --dev flag when creating your database. These small, affordable databases are perfect for testing or staging environments

I have created a dev database with the suggested vapor database dev-db --dev command, and a public db.t3.micro has been created in AWS, but when I go to add an additional user to the database with the vapor database:user dev-db user1 command I receive an error that a jumpbox is required:

Whoops! There were some problems with your request.

• A jumpbox is required to create database users.

The documentation about private/public databases states:

In addition, these databases may be publicly accessible (with a long, random password automatically assigned by Vapor) or private. Private databases may not typically be accessed from the public Internet. To access them from your local machine, you will need to create a Vapor jumpbox.

Since the --dev database creation command creates a publicly accessible database, why is an error returned stating that a jumpbox is required?

Answer 1

That sounds like a bug unless you tried to create the user before the database finished provisioning
