I'm getting the following error when I try to connect to a Postgres database inside a Docker container. I'm using pgAdmin 4 on windows as my client.
Password does not match for user "postgres".
My docker-compose file is as follows:
version: "3"
services:
db:
image: postgres
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
- POSTGRES_DB=postgres
ports:
- "5433:5432"
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
pgdata:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. The file states that the username and password are both postgres. I was able to connect when I just docker run the image. Now I'm using the compose file I seem to be getting this problem.
Fixed by doing the following:
Stopped container.
Removed container.
Removed volume.
Volume must have contained previous configuration.

This is my docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
db:
container_name: "postgres"
image: postgres:14
restart: always
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
- POSTGRES_DB:database
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:5434:5432"
volumes:
- ./db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
Docker don't create database for this container, what is wrong?
IF IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH TYPO here - POSTGRES_DB:database instead of - POSTGRES_DB=database
Did you ever start the Postgres container without specifying the user and database?
This could happen when the docker volume had already stored data from previous runs, where you didn't set the user and DB, then later runs with different env variables will not change the users. That is only done on the first initialization.
So you need to run
docker volume prune
There is already a closed issue on GitHub about that, see: https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/issues/453
I have a docker-compose that brings up the psql database as below, currently I'm trying to connect to it with pgAdmin4 (not in a docker container) and be able to view it. I've been having trouble authenticating with the DB and I don't understand why.
docker-compose
version: "3"
services:
# nginx and server also have an override, but not important for this q.
nginx:
ports:
- 1234:80
- 1235:443
server:
build: ./server
ports:
- 3001:3001 # app server port
- 9230:9230 # debugging port
env_file: .env
command: yarn dev
volumes:
# Mirror local code but not node_modules
- /server/node_modules/
- ./server:/server
database:
container_name: column-db
image: 'postgres:latest'
restart: always
ports:
- 5432:5432
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres # The PostgreSQL user (useful to connect to the database)
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: root # The PostgreSQL password (useful to connect to the database)
POSTGRES_DB: postgres # The PostgreSQL default database (automatically created at first launch)
volumes:
- ./db-data/:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
networks:
app-network:
driver: bridge
I do docker-compose up then check the logs, and it says that it is ready for connections. I go to pgAdmin and enter the following:
where password is root. I then get this error:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
I check the docker logs and I see
DETAIL: Role "postgres" does not exist.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, according to the docs the super user should be created with those specifications. Am I missing something? Been banging my head against this for an hour now. Any help is appreciated!
#jjanes solved it in a comment, I had used a mapped volume and never properly set up the db. Removed the volume and we're good to go.
I have a PostgreSQL container set up that I can successfully connect to with Adminer but I'm getting an authentication error when trying to connect via something like DBeaver using the same credentials.
I have tried exposing port 5432 in the Dockerfile and can see on Windows for docker the port being correctly binded. I'm guessing that because it is an authentication error that the issue isn't that the server can not be seen but with the username or password?
Docker Compose file and Dockerfile look like this.
version: "3.7"
services:
db:
build: ./postgresql
image: postgresql
container_name: postgresql
restart: always
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=trac
- POSTGRES_USER=user
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1234
ports:
- 5432:5432
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
nginx:
build: ./nginx
image: nginx_db
container_name: nginx_db
restart: always
ports:
- "8004:8004"
- "8005:8005"
Dockerfile: (Dockerfile will later be used to copy ssl certs and keys)
FROM postgres:9.6
EXPOSE 5432
Wondering if there is something else I should be doing to enable this to work via some other utility?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
Tried accessing the database through the IP of the postgresql container 172.28.0.3 but the connection times out which suggests that PostgreSQL is correctly listening on 0.0.0.0:5432 and for some reason the user and password are not usable outside of Docker even from the host machine using localhost.
Check your pg_hba.conf file in the Postgres data folder.
The default configuration is that you can only login from localhost (which I assume Adminer is doing) but not from external IPs.
In order to allow access from all external addresses vi password authentication, add the following line to your pg_hba.conf:
host all all * md5
Then you can connect to your postgres DB running in the docker container from outside, given you expose the Port (5432)
Use the command docker container inspect ${container_number}, this will tell you which IPaddress:ports are exposed external to the container.
The command 'docker container ls' will help identify the 'container number'
After updating my default db_name, I also had to update the docker-compose myself by explicitly exposing the ports as the OP did
db:
image: postgres:13-alpine
volumes:
- dev-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=devdb
- POSTGRES_USER=user
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1234
ports:
- 5432:5432
But the key here was restarting the server! DBeaver has connected to localhost:5432 :)
I have a multiple container application, that is using the postgres image in docker-compose.yml file. Postgres container has volume on host machine for persistent storage.
When I run docker-compose up at first time all is fine, postgres creates db files in my host folder.
After it I need to shut down application temporarily with docker-compose down if I'll change code of web container.
When I run docker-compose up second time, postgres overwriting all db files, but I need that data not changes. How can I solve this issue?
My docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
services:
web:
build: ./web
command: python3 main.py
volumes:
- ./web:/app
ports:
- "80:80"
depends_on:
- db
- redis
links:
- db:db
- redis:redis
db:
image: postgres
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD:0000
volumes:
- ./pgdb:/var/lib/postgresql/data
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "6379:6379"
command: redis-server --appendonly yes
volumes:
- ./redisdb:/data
I solve this problem. It occurs probably because I changed permissions for pgdb directory with host root user. By default I couldn't open pgdb in host machine because owner is postgres user. I could be wrong but after I stopped to change the resolutions the problem was gone.
So I'm having a problem mounting an existing set of data for Docker Postgres that I cannot figure out for the life of me. Here's my docker compose file.
version: '2'
services:
postgresql:
image: postgres:9.5
environment:
- PGDATA=/data
ports:
- '5432:5432'
volumes:
- ~/.postgresql:/data
web:
build: .
command: sbt/sbt run
volumes:
- .:/app
ports:
- '9001:9001'
depends_on:
- postgresql
Here's the error I see
ostgresql_1 | FATAL: data directory "/data" has wrong ownership
postgresql_1 | HINT: The server must be started by the user that owns the data directory.
Does anyone have any clue how to fix it? Thank you
PS I am using Docker Machine through OSX if that makes a difference in this problem.
The error message is pretty clear. I think the container runs postgres with user postgres which has a uid/gid of 999 (see https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/blob/3f8e9784438c8fe54f831c301a45f4d55f6fa453/9.5/Dockerfile line 5). You need to chown your host data folder to a user with the same uid.
