Can't get this to run

[dstroot]

I've cloned the repo, set up the .env file properly and also downgraded the content layer. Yet the content layer is throwing issues:

I think the real root cause is that I cannot get the db:push to work. I keep getting ECONNREFUSED:

The strange part is the same '.env' file seems to work in other cases as I can see the app trying to query the database, but since the tables don't exist yet it fails of course. So why would it connect sometimes and sometimes fail?

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I really want to explore this code base - it looks awesome!!
