I just bought a new PC and I'm setting up my Postgres DB for my Rails apps (running Rails on localhost) to try to replicate what I had on my old PC.
I installed WSL2, Postgres, and PGAdmin (on Windows).
I know that Postgres is running because I can query the database in WSL2 through the Rails console (and can create and retrieve data). Also, when I am using WSL2 through Ubuntu on my Windows machine, if I try to create the DB in Rails, it says my development and test DBs already exist.
However, when I try to connect to the DB PGAdmin and DBeaver both do not see the DB.
Usually, when a DB is created in Rails for me, it automatically shows up when I refresh. With these, they don't show, and if I try to add a DB with the same name I created for my Rails app, it lets me (and there are no tables, so I know it's not the WSL2 DB Rails is using).

I have also tried to use 127.0.0.1 for the host for the server, but it doesn't work.
I'm completely stumped. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
