How do I connect to the Divio postgres database with local PgAdmin?

I am trying to connect with PgAdmin to the local Divio database in the container but PgAdmin 4 will not let me connect without a password. The Divio Postgres database seems to come without a password.

Has anyone got round this?

Solution

You don't need a password.

See Interact with the local database from your host environment in the official documentation.

The key things are:

expose the database’s port by editing the docker-compose.yml file
use the correct credentials

Both steps are described in more detail in the documentation. I haven't given more specific details here such as port numbers in case those details ever change in the future.
