`pg_hba.conf`; you can find helpful links tailored to your OS / PG version on the web easily for
this task. For Docker it suffices to only whitelist IPs `172.0.0.0/8` instead of `*`, but in any
case you are _warned_ that doing this in a production database _may_ have disastrous consequences as
you are opening your database to the public internet. 2. Instead of `localhost`, try using
`host.docker.internal` (Mac users, Ubuntu) or `172.18.0.1` (Linux users) as the hostname when
attempting to connect to the database. This is a Docker internal detail -- what is happening is
that, in Mac systems, Docker Desktop creates a dns entry for the hostname `host.docker.internal`
which resolves to the correct address for the host machine, whereas in Linux this is not the case
(at least by default). If neither of these 2 hostnames work then you may want to find the exact
hostname you want to use, for that you can do `ifconfig` or `ip addr show` and look at the IP
address of `docker0` interface that must have been created by Docker for you. Alternately if you
don't even see the `docker0` interface try (if needed with sudo) `docker network inspect bridge` and
see if there is an entry for `"Gateway"` and note the IP address.
