Getting MYSQL/node error getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN root root:3306 when trying ghost run

Posted another thread two days ago but decided to try some other things.

Concerns an install on Ubuntu 18.04 on Linode. Uninstalled ghost and nginx and then re-installed per the directions here. Now I’m running into issues again – specifically, when I run ghost start I get this error:

Debug Information:
    OS: Ubuntu, v18.04
    Node Version: v10.16.3
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.11.0
    Environment: production
    Command: 'ghost start'
Message: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN root root:3306
Help: Unknown database error
Suggestion: journalctl -u xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -n 50
Stack: Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN root root:3306

    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

The output of ghost doctor is fine:

Any help is appreciated. Pretty lost here.
