Rails web app not available after being pushed to demo box and started

Using the Flynn vagrant demo box, I:

  • push a Rails app, and the Heroku build pack runs successfully
  • add a route alias localhost:8080
  • flynn scale web=1
  • add DATABASE_URL as an environment variable
  • flynn run rake db:migrate, which I know has completed because it doesn't throw a database connection error, although it does complain about stdin not being in gzip format

But when I try to access localhost:8080, I get 'Service unavailable' errors, and on occasion 'Bad gateway' errors. Running flynn log on the web process yields nothing. What am I (or Flynn) doing wrong?

DATABASE_URL is not currently supported.

The stdin not gzip error is actually a fatal error that hasn't been tracked down yet.

FWIW when I provide a DATABASE_URL with the wrong username/password, I get a postgresql exception that the username/password is incorrect, as I would do when running Rails in any other environment. So it does work in at least some ways.
