connect postgres fron docker

Question

I have postgres installed in my ubuntu18.04, and running on port 5432.

I have django application and its in docker.

my database connection in settings.py file is like below.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'dbname',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': 5432,
    }
}

when i run command sudo docker-compose run it gives me below error.

change your connection file for host details..give machine IP instead of 127.0.0.1 and make sure your machine IP with 5432 is accessible. — Bhagyashri Machale

127.0.0.1 in your Django application refers to localhost in the Docker container, not your host machine.

Get the IP of your Ubuntu host, e.g. by running ifconfig, and configure your Django application to use that IP.
