Connecting to Postgresql in a docker container from outside

Question

I have Postgresql on a server in a docker container. How can I connect to it from the outside, that is, from my local computer? What setting should I apply to allow that?

Answer 1

You can also access through docker exec command by:

$ docker exec -it postgres-container bash

# su postgres

$ psql

Or

$ docker exec -it postgres-container psql -U postgres
