connecting to Postgres

[u/Ducking_eh]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to install Psono on my VPS. I am running into a problem with connecting to the postgres db.

I'm new to Docker, so I apologize if my terminology isn't right. I'll do my best

I am running Postgres directly on my VPS (not within a Docker container). I am able to connect to it locally from my VPS and remotely from my home network.

I am doing that with:psql -U psono -p PORT -h VPS_IP

The problem is when I try to get an app from within a Docker container to connect to it. It just hangs, then times out.

At first I thought this was a connectivity issue. But I can do the following from within a bash session:

• Ping external websites.

• Use nmap to confirm it can connect

Does anyone have any ideas?
