Connect to postgresql in host (not docker container)

Get Help
1

I’m trying to configure metabase to analyze data I have in a postgresql on a CentOS 7 VM.
I tried:

1 - docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --add-host=database:vm-ip --name metabase metabase/metabase
2 - docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --net=host --name metabase metabase/metabase
3 - docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --network=“host” --name metabase metabase/metabase

in order to try to point metabase to localhost from my host instead of the container’s.
but I get trouble:

  • in 1) The connection attempt failed
  • in 2) and 3): container fails to start

Can anyone help in properly setting this up?

Thank you!

Hi @vbnunes
Have a look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28056522/access-host-database-from-a-docker-container
When you say fails to start, I guess there’s an error or error code?
