The problem
I am trying to connect to PostgreSQL from PhpStorm, but it returns the following error:
[28P01] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "app"
The situation
I have the following .env file setup:
POSTGRES_DB=app
POSTGRES_USER=app
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
POSTGRES_VERSION=15
And the following in docker-compose.yml:
version: '3'
services:
database:
image: postgres:${POSTGRES_VERSION}-alpine
container_name: database
env_file:
- .env
volumes:
- db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data:rw
ports:
- '5432'
volumes:
db-data:
When running docker-compose up -d that does create a container & volume successfully.
So then I enter the following into my PhpStorm:
But then the error pops up, entering the password again doesn't fix anything.
I am running this on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
What I've tried
I've rebuilt the container several times with different user & password combinations (making sure to use docker-compose down -v to get rid of the volume), all with the same result.
I've tried changing the password by executing docker exec -it database psql -U app and then running ALTER ROLE app WITH PASSWORD 'password', but this did not change anything.
I also saw online that it might have to do something with authentication of the user being setup as ident, but I cannot find a way to change this in the docker-compose.yml file.
The question
How could I set this up so I can connect my PhpStorm to the PostgreSQL database properly?
In my case I was running Windows 10 with WSL2 (Ubuntu). I had installed Postgres in the Ubuntu instance as part of setting up an app. I'd removed the app but the Postgres server was still running. When I attempted to connect to the Docker Postgres instance using localhost:5432 I was instead connecting to the WSL2 Postgres instance.
In my case, since I was no longer using Postgres in WSL2 I removed it and this resolved the issue. You could also stop it or use the host name/IP as mentioned by #jjanes

I'm having a problem when running the npx prisma migrate dev command. Docker desktop tells me that the database is running correctly on port 5432 but I still can't see the problem.
I tried to put connect_timeout=300 to the connection string, tried many versions of postgres and docker, but I can't get it to work.
I leave you the link of the repo and photos so you can see the detail of the code.
I would greatly appreciate your help, since I have been lost for a long time with this.

Please make sure your database server is running at localhost:5432.
Docker ps show this:
Looks like the application and the database are running on two separate containers. So, in this case, connecting to localhost:5432 from the application container will try to connect to 5432 port within that container and not in the docker host's localhost.
To connect to database from the application container, use postgres:5432 (If they are on the same network) or <dockerhost>:5432.
Your docker ps output is showing that your postgres container has no ports connected to your local network.
It should look something similiar to this on ports column.
0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp, :::5432->5432/tcp
But yours is just 5432/tcp
You need to open ports for your postgres container.
Your docker-compose.yml file you posted in the question is correct. Probably you started postgres container with no ports first, then changed your docker-compose.yml file to have ports. So you just need to restart it now.
Use docker compose down && docker compose up --build -d to do that.
I have been spending 3-4 hours on this and still have not found a solution.
I can successfully run the docker container and use psql from the container bash, however, when I try to call the db from my local machine I continue to get this error message:
error role "postgres" does not exist
I have already tried editing "listen_addresses" in the postgresql.conf file from the container bash
My setup:
I am using a macbook - Monterey 12.4
my docker compose file:
version: '3.4'
services:
postgres:
image: postgres:latest
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=postgres_db
- POSTGRES_USER=testUser
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=testPW
volumes:
- postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/db
but this issue occurs if I do it through the standard CLI command as well, i.e:
docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name my-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword postgres
I tried to follow this tutorial but it didnt work:
[https://betterprogramming.pub/connect-from-local-machine-to-postgresql-docker-container-f785f00461a7][1]
when I try this command:
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -W
it doesnt work:
psql: error: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist
Also for reference, the user "postgres" does exist in postgres - as a superuser
Replace POSTGRES_USER=testUser with POSTGRES_USER=postgres in the compose configuration. Also use the password defined in POSTGRES_PASSWORD. Delete the old container and create a new one.
Thank you all for your help on this.
It turns out the issue was that I was running postgres on my local machine as well.
so once I turn that off I was able to connect.
I appreciate your time!
I'm running a docker container with the vanilla Postgres image on my local machine. I'd like to connect to the database from my local machine (i.e., not from "within the container". However, on trying to connect, I get an error.
Here's my docker-compose.yml file:
version: "3.8"
services:
db:
image: postgres
restart: always
ports:
- 5432:5432
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mypassword
Here's how I start up:
docker-compose run db
Here's how I connect:
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres
This produces the error:
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
If I spin up the database without Docker Compose, the same connection command works as expected:
docker run --name mypg -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgres
I could just go with the flow and use the command above. But this seems to be pointing to a flaw in how I think about Docker/Compose. For example, maybe Docker Compose's internal DNS resolver makes this approach fail.
Any ideas?
Version info:
psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 13.3
I have read through several SO posts, including these, but they don't address or fix the problem I'm seeing:
docker-compose: accessing postgres' shell (psql)
Can't connect to postgres when using docker-compose
Try docker-compose up db instead of run. Using run will run a one-off command against your container, whereas up will turn on the container and leave it running, so another application should be able to access it.

I have installed one open-source project from docker and that project has a database in PostgreSQL. Now I want to see the database from pgAdmin 4 and when I am trying to connect with "host.docker.internal" I am getting an error see image below.
Simply do mapping port for your PostgreSQL (which is running inside Docker). and from your pgAdmin4 you'll connect using localhost:<mapped_port>
If you're using docker-compose
services:
postgre:
ports:
- "8080:5432"
If you're using docker-cli
docker run postgre -p 8080:5432
Then from pgAdmin4 connect to your database using localhost:8080
I suspect this is a networking issue.
If port mapping does not work as suggested in other answers, try specifying the network as host for your container
If you are using docker run
--net=host
Or use the following on docker compose
network_mode: 'host'

Hello, I am trying to run a program locally using Docker and am getting the error in the title, even though it was working before.
I've tried reinstalling Docker, re-cloning the repo, reinstalling PostgresSQL (the problem started when I installed it for the first time). From reading similar questions, I ensured that the password matches. The password is 'password' for the Docker Postgres Database and I've tried changing it but it still hasn't worked.
I'm using 'docker-compose up -d' and then running tests but I get the error in the title. I've tried running 'docker-compose down' and then redoing it, but I still get the error.
.env file:
FLASK_ENV=development

docker-compose.yml:
version: '3'
services:
postgresql:
image: postgres:10-alpine
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=programname
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
- POSTGRES_USER=username

redis:
image: redis:5.0.3
ports:

(I don't have the port as 5432:5432 because it didn't work with that and I found an answer to remove the second 5432.)
Boss helped me with this. Apparently, when I installed Postgres, it created a postgres user that had a process that was using port 5432 and even when we killed it, it automatically restarted. To solve this specific problem, we changed the docker-compose file to use port 5433 locally and 5432 in the container. Still have to find out how to get rid of the postgres user.
