                Allow Docker Container Access to Host's Postgres Database on linux (ubuntu)
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    You have to do 2 things in order to allow your container to access your host's postgresql database

Make your postgresql listen to an external ip address
Let this client ip  (your docker container) access your postgresql database with a given user

Obs: By "Host" here I mean "the server where docker is running on".
Make your postgresql listen to an external ip address

Find your postgresql.conf (in case you don't know where it is)
$ sudo find / -type f -name postgresql.conf
