Trying phppgadmin docker container to view postgres database on host: it says login failed - postgresql

Question

I want to view the host postgresql with phppgadmin docker container
My host is archlinux and with postgresql server running on it.
I have /var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = "*"
and
/var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf
host all all 172.17.0.0/16 password
I want to view the postgresql tables. So i using phppgadmin docker with the following command
docker run --name='phppgadmin' --rm \
--publish=8888:80 \
-e PHP_PG_ADMIN_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
dockage/phppgadmin:latest
Now i can open the phppgadmin from 127.0.0.1:8888/phppgadmin
But when i try to login it says login failed
I have a django project on my host using the using hosts postgresql. That works well with the settings
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': ‘<db_name>’,
'USER': '<db_username>',
'PASSWORD': '<password>',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
Also my netstat output on host
$ netstat -nrv
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlp3s0
172.17.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 docker0
172.18.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br-1c7e732767f4
172.20.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br-17604ffc4858
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlp3s0
on my docker container
$ netstat -nrv
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 172.17.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
172.17.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

Answer 1

From netstat -nrv on my phppgadmin docker container
$ netstat -nrv
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 172.17.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
172.17.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
So the ip address of the host is 172.17.0.1
Change PHP_PG_ADMIN_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1" to PHP_PG_ADMIN_SERVER_HOST="172.17.0.1"
docker run --name='phppgadmin' --rm \
--publish=8888:80 \
-e PHP_PG_ADMIN_SERVER_HOST="172.17.0.1" \
dockage/phppgadmin:latest
with:
I have /var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = "localhost,127.0.0.1,172.17.0.1"
and
/var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf
host all all 172.17.0.0/16 md5
Open 127.0.0.1:8888/phppgadmin and login with non Superuser
For Superuser its still not working.
