用户“root”、postgresSQL 和 docker 的密码验证失败

Question

I'm trying to connect to my database using postgres on docker but it says that the password authentication failed.

My code:

const { Client } = require('pg');

const client = new Client({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  user: 'root',
  password: 'root',
  database: 'mycontacts',
});

client.connect();

docker command to start the postgres container:

docker run --name postg -e POSTGRES_USER=root2 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root2 -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

Answer 1

Try creating another Postgres container to try and connect and it will work. Else. password authentication failed while trying to connect into my docker database

Answer 2

It ended up being the postgres that i had installed on my pc.

I uninstalled it and now its working!
