I have created an ubuntu image with nginx, php and postgres.
I want to connect the postgres database in my current image with pgadmin located on my local machine.
I have tried using docker inspector to try to use the image ip to make a connection with my local pgadmin but without much success. I've also tried configuring some ports on local to make connection work.
It's a valid question don't know why people feel "doesn't seem possible to answer that question".
So, here's how I do what you are trying to do:
Pull postgres image from Docker Hub
docker pull postgres:latest
Run the container using the below command
docker run -p 5432:5432 postgres
Using docker's inspect command find the IP
Use that IP, PORT, Username, and Password to connect in PGADMIN
You can also do a simple telnet like below to confirm if you can access docker postgres container:
telnet IP_ADDRESS 5432
What I have done success on windows 10 running docker for windows 1.12.6(9655), the step is like below:
Pull the latest postgres
docker pull postgres:latest
run the postgres containner:
docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password123 --name db-my -p 5432:5432 --restart=always postgres
Then installed the latest version of pgAdmin4 from pgadmin website
Run pgAdmin 4 create new server, and input as following Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 5432 User name: user password: password123
Alternatively, you could combine Postgres and Pgadmin in one docker-compose file, and login as user [email protected], pwd: admin. To add the Posgres server, use hostname postgres, port 5432.
version: '3'
services:
postgres:
image: postgres
hostname: postgres
ports:
- "6543:5432"
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: TEST_SM
volumes:
- postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
restart: unless-stopped
pgadmin:
image: dpage/pgadmin4
depends_on:
- postgres
ports:
- "5555:80"
environment:
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: [email protected]
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: admin
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
postgres-data:
This is what i did
docker run -p 5432:5432 --name container-postgresdb -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin -d postgres
docker run -p 5050:80 -e "[email protected]" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=admin" -d dpage/pgadmin4
host: host.docker.internal
database: postgres
user: postgres
password: admin
It works fine!!!!!
If pgAdmin is intended to be run wihtin same Ubuntu host/guest, then you need to link postgres container, so it could be resolved by a name.
1. Run a postgres container:
docker run --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -d postgres
2. Run pgAdmin container:
docker run -p 80:80 --link some-postgres -e "[email protected]" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres" -d dpage/pgadmin4
3. Now when adding new server in phAdmin web app, use some-postgres as server name
Note the --link some-postgres when we were bringing up the pgAdmin. This command makes postgres container visible to pgAdmin container.
I included this in the docker yaml file to get the database and pgAdmin:
database:
image: postgres:10.4-alpine
container_name: kafka-nodejs-example-database
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
expose:
- "5432"
ports:
- 8000:5432
volumes:
- ./services/database/schema.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-schema.sql
- ./services/database/seed.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/2-seed.sql
pgadmin:
image: dpage/pgadmin4
ports:
- 5454:5454/tcp
environment:
- [email protected]
- PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres
- PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5454
The postgres username is alphaone and the password is xxxxxxxxxxx.
Do a docker ps to get the container id and then docker inspect <dockerContainerId> | grep IPAddress
eg: docker inspect 2f50fabe8a87 | grep IPAddress
Insert the Ip address into pgAdmin and the database credentials used in docker:
After facing this issue for two days i was able to resolve that issue.
solution of this problem is already answered by peoples like do inspect
docker inspect CONTAINER_ID
but while running this command i got a-lot of logs like Host Config Config Network Settings etc. so i got confused which IPAddress to add in the pgAdmin connection because i tried 0.0.0.0 and config, host, networkSettings different -2 IPAddress in the logs but finally it works after trying a-lot.
it works with which IP, we have to add that network ip address (which we created to connect the postgres and pgAdmin.)
like in my case when i run :-
docker inspect postgres_container
"NetworkSettings": {
"Bridge": "",
"SandboxID": "sdffsffsfsfsfsf123232e2r3pru3ouoyoyuosyvo8769696796",

"HostPort": "5432"
}
]
},

"SecondaryIPv6Addresses": null,

"MacAddress": "",

"EndpointID":"b3424n43k52o2i4n235k1k4l2l4hj234f14n2",
"Gateway": "192.168.16.1",
"IPAddress": "192.168.16.2",
"IPPrefixLen": 20,
"IPv6Gateway": "",
so we have to add the NetworkSettings -> Network -> Postgres(mine created network) -> IPAddress i.e. "IPAddress": "192.168.16.2".
After adding this ip it will work.
I hope it will help.
This worked for me on Ubuntu 18:
1- Run a postgres container
docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password123 --name my-postgres -p 5432:5432 postgres
2- Run a pgAdmin container
docker run --rm -p 5050:5050 thajeztah/pgadmin4
3- Get your local IP (in Ubuntu by ifconfig command)
4- Open localhost:5050 in your browser
5- Click on Servers >> Create >> Server...
6- In General tab, give it a name, for example: docker. In Connection tab, enter these fields:
Host name: The IP from 3
Username: user
Password: password123
7- Click on Save and now everything should work fine.
Note: If this didn't work, try "localhost" for the host name.
In order or find your IP of the container, use following command
docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name_or_id

In my case, I had a PostgreSQL container, so I didn't change my container or create a docker-compose approach, I needed pgadming after few months to had installed PostgreSQL, so this is my approach:
docker inspect my_container_id_postgreSQLThe network assigned to PostgreSQL was:
"Networks": { "docker_default": { "IPAddress": "172.18.0.2", ... } }
Ran my PGADMIN with --network command.
docker run -p 85:80 --network docker_default -e '[email protected]' -e 'PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=SuperSecret' -d dpage/pgadmin4
Insert the Ip address into pgAdmin and the database credentials used in docker.
I hope this can be useful for someone. Regards.
You have to expose the postgres port in the container to you local system. You do this by running your container like this:
docker run -p 5432:5432 <name/id of container>
when connecting with your GUI client or CLI make sure to use the ip-address not localhost even if your ip-address is the localhost ip-address.
docker ps would give you the ip address your postgres container is on.
You can create a Docker bridge network to do this too.
$ docker network create pgnet

$ docker run --detach \
--name pg \
--network pgnet \
--publish 5432:5432 \
--restart always \
--env POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pg123 \
--volume ${PWD}/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \

The Hostname/address used above is the name of the Postgres container given by --name pg
To find the correct ip for your container, execute the following commands:
Check container ID:
docker ps
To check the correct IP of your container:
docker inspect <ID_CONTAINER> | grep "IPAddress"
The configuration of both PostgreSQL and PgAdmin with Docker are simple, if not right, I recommend redoing the configuration from scratch, if your problem is deeper.
Here is a script I developed to solve this problem. script-sh/install-docker-postgres-and-pgadmin
For macOS IPs of postgres and pgadmin4 are different from the ones docker inspect provides.
Type
docker-machine ls
Take a look at the name of the server on the left. It's default by default.
docker-machine ip default will IP you need to use for both, pgadmin4 in browser and for postgres in pgadmin4 settings.
The solution I tried and worked for me, was to create a docker compose file where I included postgress and pgadmin as services. For more details: Connecting pgadmin to postgres in docker
Are you using Window Subsystem LinuxWSL2 to run Docker and PgAdmin?
The steps I suggested is similar to what folks suggested. In my case I am using window environment
Step 1: Open CMD and type ipconfig and hit enter.
Step 2: Check WSL IPv4 Adress
Ethernet adapter vEthernet (WSL):
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : 3bd9::997b:b52a::fe80::65b3%63
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.172.172.1 // use the IP as host/address
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Step 3: Open PgAdmin from the browse and create a server
Step 4:
// Here it depends on your desired config mine is the following
Server: postgres
host address: IPv4 Address(step 2)
username: postgress(username for postgress)
password: password(password for postgress)
I spend two days to figure out what was wrong, I hope someone will find it helpful
