Docker container for Postgres 9.1 not exposing port 5432 to host

Question

I\'m trying to use a Docker container to run a PostgreSQL server, and connect with it from my host machine.

My configuration is:

• Host machine: Mac OS X

Answer 1

I had a similar issue. My problem was simply 0.0.0.0 not mapping to localhost so I just had to add to psql

psql --host=0.0.0.0

This is presuming

docker port 

outputs

5432/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:5432
