Answer 1

Alternatively, you could combine Postgres and Pgadmin in one docker-compose file, and login as user pgadmin4@pgadmin.org, 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: pgadmin4@pgadmin.org
      PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: admin
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  postgres-data:

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

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:

1. Pull postgres image from Docker Hub

   docker pull postgres:latest

2. Run the container using the below command

   docker run -p 5432:5432 postgres

3. Using docker's inspect command find the IP

4. Use that IP, PORT, Username, and Password to connect in PGADMIN

5. You can also do a simple telnet like below to confirm if you can access docker postgres container:

   telnet IP_ADDRESS 5432

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
