I have a docker-compose that brings up the psql database as below, currently I'm trying to connect to it with pgAdmin4 (not in a docker container) and be able to view it. I've been having trouble authenticating with the DB and I don't understand why.
docker-compose
version: "3"
services:
# nginx and server also have an override, but not important for this q.
nginx:
ports:
- 1234:80
- 1235:443
server:
build: ./server
ports:
- 3001:3001 # app server port
- 9230:9230 # debugging port
env_file: .env
command: yarn dev
volumes:
# Mirror local code but not node_modules
- /server/node_modules/
- ./server:/server
database:
container_name: column-db
image: 'postgres:latest'
restart: always
ports:
- 5432:5432
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres # The PostgreSQL user (useful to connect to the database)
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: root # The PostgreSQL password (useful to connect to the database)
POSTGRES_DB: postgres # The PostgreSQL default database (automatically created at first launch)
volumes:
- ./db-data/:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
networks:
app-network:
driver: bridge
I do docker-compose up
then check the logs, and it says that it is ready for connections. I go to pgAdmin and enter the following:
where password is root
. I then get this error:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
I check the docker logs and I see
DETAIL: Role "postgres" does not exist.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, according to the docs the super user should be created with those specifications. Am I missing something? Been banging my head against this for an hour now. Any help is appreciated!

@jjanes solved it in a comment, I had used a mapped volume and never properly set up the db. Removed the volume and we're good to go.
