Remote Access​

Port Mapping Access​

The PostgreSQL application is mapped to the host extranet port by default, so you just need to ensure that the security group is configured for the correct port.

Forwarding Bridge Access​

If the PostgreSQL container port is not mapped to the host, it can be accessed through the Websoft9 gateway Streams forwarding mode bridge. You need to ensure the following:

  1. The postgresql.conf configuration entry listen_addresses = '*'.
  2. The pg_hba.conf configuration host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5.

Configuration Options​

  • Default user: PostgreSQL does not have a regular administrator account, but Websoft9 sets postgres as the default account name.
  • Clients: psql, clusterdb, pgAdmin, etc.
  • Server: initdb, pg_ctl, postgres, postmaster, pg_upgrade, etc.
  • Four Types of Connection: local, host, hostssl, hostnossl.
  • Authentication Methods: reject, md5, password, trust, peer, scram-sha-256.
  • Configuration files (mounted):
    • /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf
    • /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf
  • Command line: psql
