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

Run the postgre image with the correct Port Mapping using -p <host_port>:<container_port>:

docker run --same-options-as-step-one -d -p 5432:5432 postgres:9.1
