On forge you have to set the environment variables with the correct database credentials.

Issues with Deploying
Hello everyone,
I'm quite new to laravel development, and I get a basic laravel project with the Auth extension set up and running correctly locally. The only Issue is that I now cannot work out how to deploy it.
I have purchased a Digital ocean droplet and I also have an account on Forge and my project is currently pushed to github, but there doesn't seem to be any solid documentation out there for users who are now to this.
I am now getting this error within Forge "SQLSTATE[HY000] [1698] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' "
Does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can find some good documentation?
Much appreciated!
