I use the official Postgres image from the Docker Hub
docker pull postgres
I start my container in my machine on local:
docker run --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=test postgres
The container would have to create my test base with my user on port 542
I have this error when I want to connect on my db
$ sudo docker run -it postgres /bin/bash
root#ef4407c26a96:/# su postgres
postgres#ef4407c26a96:/$ psql
psql: error: could not connect to server: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
postgres#ef4407c26a96:/$
Please provide the database that you want to connect to. As you've provided POSTGRES_DB=test, use it when you wish to connect to psql:
psql -d test -U user
Also, I was able to connect with psql both as root and postgres user.

I'm trying to connect to running postgres container with psql:
docker pull postgres
docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d postgres
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin>psql <myUserName>
Password for user <myUserName>:
at this point I type the given password, in this case just password and get the error
psql: error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "<myUserName>"
What am I doing incorrectly ?
When you use docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d postgres, the POSTGRES_PASSWORD would be set for user postgres as default. you can specify your user with POSTGRES_USER environment.
Second thing is that when you run a postgresql container and don't bind any ports for that, you can't connect to that container from outside. So you won't being able to connect to your container with pure pqsl command. Here you have 3 way to connect to your container:
1- Use docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -p 5432:5432 -d postgres to run container, then connect to it with psql -h <YOUR_IP> -p 5432 -U <USERNAME>
2- Get your container ip with docker inspect <CONTAINER_NAME> command, then connect to it with psql -h <CONTAINER_IP> -U <USERNAME>
3- Use psql inside your container with docker exec -it <CONTAINER_NAME> psql -U <USERNAME>
I am on a Mac.
I pulled the postgres docker image by running:
docker pull postgres:12.4
Then I start the container by running:
docker run --rm --name pg-docker -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass -d -p 5432:5432 -v $HOME/docker/volumes/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres
I can confirm the container is running:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
6ef29362b6f3 postgres "docker-entrypoint.s…" 4 minutes ago Up 4 minutes 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp pg-docker
I installed only psql on the host and when I try to connect to the postgres, I get the following error:
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d postgres
psql: error: could not connect to server: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
password retrieved from file "/Users/me/.pgpass"
I am actually following the steps as outline in this post
I am not sure what is going wrong or how to fix this. Any ideas?
I've got a simple Code Build project for a Django App and I want to start a Postgres database in a docker container for testing.
The commands are:
docker run --name django-test-db -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=djangotest -e POSTGRES_USER=configuration-service-master -e POSTGRES_DB=configuration-service postgres:12-alpine
docker exec django-test-db psql -U configuration-service-master -c \"\\dn\"
On my local machine everything works quite fine, but in AWS CodeBuild I'm receiving the error:
psql: error: could not connect to server: could not connect to server:
No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Try two things:
Connect with '-h' flag to specify host so the connection goes through TCP/IP instead of Unix Socket
psql -h localhost -p 5432
Enable privileged mode on Build project:

I'm trying to connect postgresql and pgadmin4 work together.
pgadmin4 works fine but when I try to create a new server I have 2 problems:
if the postgres container is at other port that is not 5432 it dont recognize that port. It show this error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "172.17.0.5" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5431?
if the postgres container is at port 5432 the error is FATAL: password authentication failed for user "example".
I execute this command to get postgres container: docker run -p 5431:5432 --name postgres2 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ad1234 -d postgres.
I try, following other responses in stackoverflow, adding this command -c"listen_addresses='*'" and I enter in the config file too but noone of this work to me.
Hope you can help me, thanks.
EDIT [Solved]
Ok I solved, it was a big fail by my part. I was using 172.17.0.5 (the IP container address) and what I need to use to connect is 172.17.01 (the Gateway).
Thanks for you time.
I have reproduce your scenario this way:
# docker run -p 5431:5432 --name postgres2 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ad1234 -d postgres
# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
d4030c577a24 postgres "docker-entrypoint.s…" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 0.0.0.0:5431->5432/tcp postgres2
# sudo -u postgres psql -h localhost -p 5431

Type "help" for help.

Now starting docker for pgadmin and being able to connect to postgresql:
docker run -p 80:80 --link postgres2 -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=user#domain.com" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=SuperSecret" -d dpage/pgadmin4
With the above command you can link the postgres2 docker to the pgadmin docker and then on creating a connection on pgadmin4 you should use:
host name/address: postgres2
port: 5432
Maintenance database: postgres
username: postgres
with that, I've connected to Postgres from pgadmin4
As far as I know, docker PostgreSQL comes by default with localhost only connection and if you want to add remote connection you should add "listen_addresses = '*'" to postgresql.conf
I have successfully built a postgres-based Docker image that enables PostGIS:
The I run it:
docker run -d -t -p 5432:5432 -v ./data:/data --name postgis-osm-pgrouting -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres pamtrak06/postgis-pgrouting-osm bash
However, when I try to connect to the database via psql:
psql -h localhost -p 5432 postgres
I get an error:
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
I am a beginner with the port forwarding, but it looks like a port-related issue to me.
Any ideas?
To access an application from within your container you need to first "attach" to that container.
You can do so by running the command:
docker exec -it container_name sh
What this command does is it runs the command sh inside the container container_name
It will prompt a shell terminal where you can now run your psql command like this:
psql -U postgres
Where here you're running psql with the user postgres (default authorized user for psql)
try this
docker run -d -t -p 5432:5432 -v $PWD/data:/data --name postgis-osm-pgrouting -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres pamtrak06/postgis-pgrouting-osm
and then
psql -h localhost -p 5432 postgres
You've got:
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "192.168.99.101" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
So apply [Configure PostgreSQL to accept TCP/IP connections][https://www.mozmorris.com/2011/11/15/configure-postgresql-to-accept-tcpip-connections.html], but not in production, for tests purpose only !
And override your Dockerfile with this configuration
