Answer 1

You have to expose the postgres port in the container to you local system. You do this by running your container like this:

docker run -p 5432:5432

when connecting with your GUI client or CLI make sure to use the ip-address not localhost even if your ip-address is the localhost ip-address.

docker ps would give you the ip address your postgres container is on.
