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

I know this is late, if you used docker-compose like @Martin

These are the snippets that helped me connect to psql inside the container

docker-compose run db bash

root@de96f9358b70:/# psql -h db -U root -d postgres_db

I cannot comment because I don't have 50 reputation. So hope this helps.
