Laravel Scheduler Kernal

I have a Laravel application that makes use of the Scheduler. I define schedules in the kernel and some of these schedules are defined by settings in my settings table.

Settings table

id | code     | value
1  | signout  | 18:00

Kernal

$schedule->command('appname:signout')->dailyAt(\App\Setting::where('code','signout')->first()->value);

I get the following error when deploying my app.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (SQL: select * from settings where code = signout limit 1)

I'm confused as I have yet to add my .env file which would contain my username and password but it appears as though when the deployment happens it tries to initialize the kernel.php file?
