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 \
    postgres:12.1

$ docker run --detach \
    --name pgadm \
    --network pgnet \
    --publish 8000:80 \
    --volume ${PWD}/pgadmin:/var/lib/pgadmin \
    --env PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=user@domain.com \
    --env PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=pgadm123 \

Open http://localhost:8000/

1. Click Add New Server
2. Create - Server
   1. Name: db
   2. Hostname/address: pg
   3. Username: postgres
   4. Password: pg123
3. Save

The Hostname/address used above is the name of the Postgres container given by --name pg

Answer 2

In my case I could solve the problem inspecting my postgre image through command

docker inspect CONTAINER_ID  | grep IPAddress.

So, I used the docker ip address to config my pgadmin 4 connection and everything was fine. Thanks to @Afshin Ghazi

Answer 3

This is what i did

for postgres

docker run -p 5432:5432  --name container-postgresdb -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin -d postgres

for pgadmin

docker run -p 5050:80  -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=name@example.com" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=admin"  -d dpage/pgadmin4

Connection string for pgadmin

host: host.docker.internal
database: postgres
user: postgres
password: admin

It works fine!!!!!

Answer 4

What I have done success on windows 10 running docker for windows 1.12.6(9655), the step is like below:

1. Pull the latest postgres

   docker pull postgres:latest

2. run the postgres containner:

   docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password123 --name db-my -p 5432:5432 --restart=always postgres

3. Then installed the latest version of pgAdmin4 from pgadmin website

4. Run pgAdmin 4 create new server, and input as following Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 5432 User name: user password: password123

5. Then everything is ok, connect to docker postgres instance success.

Answer 5

In order or find your IP of the container, use following command

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name_or_id

Answer 6

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.
