Cannot connect to postgreSQL docker container via postico - postgresql

Question

I'm trying to use Postico to connect to a docker postgreSQL container on my local machine.
I've tried connecting to 0.0.0.0, localhost, and 127.0.0.1. Each give me the following error:
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
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?
0.0.0.0 gives me a similar, but smaller error:
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?
Here is my docker-compose file:
version: '3'
services:
prisma:
image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.23
restart: always
ports:
- "4466:4466"
environment:
PRISMA_CONFIG: |
port: 4466
databases:
default:
connector: postgres
host: postgres
port: 5432
user: prisma
password: prisma
migrations: true
postgres:
image: postgres:10.5
restart: always
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: prisma
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: prisma
volumes:
- postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
postgres:
Solution found thanks to Egor! I forgot to specify ports: - "5432:5432" inside my docker-compose file. Rookie mistake ;)

Answer 1

I also had issues using Postico to connect to my Postgres DB in a docker container.
Ultimately, my issue was that I had a local Postgres DB running.
As soon as I disconnected my local Postgres DB, I was able to use Postico to connect to my docker DB. With the host set to localhost, I used the POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and host port as defined in my docker-compose.yml file.

Answer 2

If postgres version doesn't matter, try to change Postgres image to this one, it works for me
And also make sure that you add ports in docker-compose.yml
postgres:
image: postgres
restart: always
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: prisma
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: prisma
ports:
- "5432: 5432"
volumes:
- postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
P.s. just updated answer for readability
