Cannot connect to database on Docker - postgresql

I have created database on docker:
docker run --name database -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d -p 5436:5436 postgres
Created some database inside:
createdb database
Also created superuser. Now I am trying to connect from localhost:
psql -h localhost -p 5436 -U postgres
After that I get following error:
psql: The server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means that the server has terminated abnormally
before or while processing your inquiry.
Ports are connected:


In your case, you are trying to expose 5436 and map with your host port 5436, but that might need to use -p 5436:5432 because Postgres uses port 5432 as the default port.
docker run --name database -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d -p 5436:5432 postgres
There is some description from Container networking
-p 8080:80：Map TCP port 80 in the container to port 8080 on the Docker host.

POSTGRES_DB and POSTGRES_USER don't work in Docker run

So I am running the following command:
docker run --name psql-instance -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_DB=mydb -e POSTGRES_USER=root -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass postgres
This creates the container.
However when I run:
docker exec -it psql-instance psql -U root
I get the following error:
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: database "root" does not exist
I've seen many similar questions and they all say its docker-compose causing the error for them and that docker run works fine but for me, docker run doesn't work.
How can I fix this?

You need to tell psql to connect to the mydb database like this
docker exec -it psql-instance psql -U root mydb

No response from postgres server

I'm trying to set up a small postgresql server on my raspberry pi. So far, I've:
Installed postgres onto my pi
Set a static IP adress for my pi
edited /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf so that listen_addresses = '*'
edited /etc/postgresql/13/main/pg_hba.conf to include
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
Running pg_isready on my pi gives me
root#pibox:~# pg_isready
/run/postgresql:5432 - accepting connections
However, running the following results in no response
root#pibox:~# pg_isready -d <db_name> -h<static_ip> -p 5432 -U postgres
<pi's IP>:5432 - no response
Additionally, I'm not able to connect from my laptop
psql --host=<static IP> --port=5432 --dbname <db name> --username=postgres
psql: error: connection to server at "<the pi's IP>", port 5432 failed: Connection refused
What are some of the next steps I can take so that I can connect to my postgres server from my laptop and execute queries against the databases?
EDIT:
My laptop is running macOS 12.4. I'm connecting to my pi via ssh over my home network. The pi is running a copy of DietPi. Here is some more relevant info

Unable to connect to postgres sql on Kubernetes minikube from Client tool

I have successfully deployed postgres on Kubernetes.
postgres NodePort 10.96.66.202 <none> 5432:30030/TCP
I am able to connect to postgres using localhost and 5432 with the following command:
kubectl exec -it postgres-75b8fd84f-gkj6k -- psql -h localhost -U appuser --password -p 5432 appdb
But when I tried to access the psql using another client tool using the node port and minikube IP I am getting the below error:
host=$(minikube ip)
192.168.49.2
port=$(kubectl get service postgres -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
30030
$ psql -h 10.96.66.202 -U appuser --password -p 30030 appdb
Password:
psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)
Is the server running on host "10.96.66.202" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 30030?
Edit:
I tried the minikube IP as well:
$ psql -h 192.168.49.2 -U appuser --password -p 30030 appdb
Password:
psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)
Is the server running on host "192.168.49.2" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 30030?
I also tried this combination as well:
$ psql -h 10.96.66.202 -U appuser --password -p 5432 appdb
Password:
psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)
Is the server running on host "10.96.66.202" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

The IP 192.168.49.2 is for the node, and 10.96.66.202 is for the service.
And the nodePort 30030 is for the node, and the targetPort 5432 is for the service.
So you can use either
psql -h 192.168.49.2 -U appuser --password -p 30030 appdb
or
psql -h 10.96.66.202 -U appuser --password -p 5432 appdb

Hasura container cannot connect to postgres DB?

I am running a postgres db running in Docker with:
docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name db --env POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres --env POSTGRES_USER=postgres postgres

I am running Docker Desktop v3.3.1 on Windows 10.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As anemyte mentioned, changing localhost to host.docker.internal works for me.

Docker container Postgres connection error

i have been trying out docker container for postgres. So far i have not been able to connect to the database inside the container.
My steps to recreate the problem below.
dockerfile start
FROM postgres
ENV POSTGRES_DB db
ENV POSTGRES_USER postgres
ENV POSTGRES_PASSWORD postgres
COPY db_schema.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
I built the docker file like so
$ docker build -t db_con .
And created a container
$ docker run -it -p 5432:5432 --name test_db db_con /bin/bash
View of running container as below
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
82347f1114c4 db "docker-entrypoint..." 3 hours ago Up 2 sec 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp test_db
I inspected the container for the address info..
$ docker inspect test_db
--extract start--
"Networks": {
"bridge": {
"Gateway": "172.17.0.1",
"IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",
}
}
--extract end--
Now, i have tried within the container, but i have NOT been successful.
I have tried all the commands below with the error below.
root#82347f1114c4:/# psql -U postgres -h 0.0.0.0 -p 5432 -d db
root#82347f1114c4:/# psql -U postgres -h 172.17.0.1 -p 5432 -d db
root#82347f1114c4:/# psql -U postgres -h 172.17.0.2 -p 5432 -d db
**response for all the above**
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "0.0.0.0" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I will be delighted if anyone can point me in the right direction. I've hit a wall here, any assistance is much appreciated.

it looks like you override default postgres cmd to /bin/bash.
Why do you put /bin/bash at the end of command?
docker run -it -p 5432:5432 --name test_db db_con /bin/bash
Try to execute
docker run -it -p 5432:5432 --name test_db db_con
Also, postgres will be available only when db dump was restored.

You need to add a new rule in your pg_hba.conf:
nano /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf
Add:
host all all [Docker Server IP]/16 md5
Next, you need to uncomment the follow line in the postgres.conf:
listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
Now restart your postgres service, and try again.
