Running several docker containers including postgres database remotely.

I want to get the external IP address of the fiware-postgres container so I can connect via pgAdmin, instead of managing db via postgres client. It appears the IPAddress of fiware-postgres is only accessible internally.
$docker inspect fiware-postgres | grep "IPAddress"
"SecondaryIPAddresses": null,
"IPAddress": "",
"IPAddress": "172.19.0.3",
pgAdmin error:
Unable to connect to server:
could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host "172.19.0.3" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Is there a way to get it's external IP, or at least some way of connecting via pgAdmin (remember docker container run on a remote, accessed via ssh).
EDIT
The remote host is accessible via ssh root@193.136.x.x:2222 so the postgres port 5432 cannot be reached.
pgAdmin settings(Connection Tab):
Host: 193.136.xx.xx
Port: 5432
Maintenance database: postgres
Username: postgres
Password: password
pgAdmin error:
Unable to connect to server:
could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host "193.136.x.x" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
postgres service definition (in docker-compose):
postgres:
restart: always
image: postgres:10
hostname: postgres
container_name: fiware-postgres
expose:
- "5432"
ports:
- "5432:5432"
networks:
- default
environment:
- "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password"
- "POSTGRES_USER=postgres"
- "POSTGRES_DB=postgres"
volumes:
- ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
build:
context: .
shm_size: '2gb'
Here's the solution that works for me:
ssh -p 2222 root@193.136.xx.xx -L 5432:localhost:5432
postgres server finally accessible via pgAdmin
