I am running the PostgreSQL service with Docker. For some reason, PostgreSQL wants to bind to IPV6 - although I havenβt specified it anywhere (at least as far as I know).
As a result of this, I cannot connect to PG. The following is relevant information:
Dockerfile
FROM postgres:9.6
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get -y install apt-utils \
&& apt-get -y install python3 \
&& apt-get -y install postgresql-plpython3-9.6
COPY sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
EXPOSE 5432
VOLUME ["/etc/postgresql", "/var/log/postgresql", "/var/lib/postgresql"]

I start the container using the following command: docker run --name my_db_service_cntnr image_tag
When I run the following command: docker container port my_db_service_cntnr
I get nothing:
me@yourbox:~/path/to/pgdb$ docker container port my_db_service_cntnr
me@yourbox:~/path/to/pgdb$
I know that PostgreSQL is running in a container:
me@yourbox:~/path/to/pgdb$ docker ps

"IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",
"GlobalIPv6Address": "",
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:11:00:02"
However, when I try to connect to PostgreSQL (using the default port of 5432), it cannot connect to the database:
Attempt to connect via psql
me@yourbox:~/path/to/pgdb$ psql -h 172.17.0.2 -U postgres -p 5432
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "172.17.0.2" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
