docker postgres pgadmin local connection

Question

I have created an ubuntu image with nginx, php and postgres.

I want to connect the postgres database in my current image with pgadmin located on my loca

Answer 1

I included this in the docker yaml file to get the database and pgAdmin:

database:
    image: postgres:10.4-alpine
    container_name: kafka-nodejs-example-database
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
    expose:
      - "5432"
    ports:
      - 8000:5432
    volumes:
      - ./services/database/schema.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-schema.sql
      - ./services/database/seed.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/2-seed.sql
  pgadmin:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4
    ports:
      - 5454:5454/tcp
    environment:
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=admin@mydomain.com
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres
      - PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5454

The postgres username is alphaone and the password is xxxxxxxxxxx.

Do a docker ps to get the container id and then docker inspect | grep IPAddress

eg: docker inspect 2f50fabe8a87 | grep IPAddress

Insert the Ip address into pgAdmin and the database credentials used in docker:
