To use xdebug with macOS and docker is quite, let´s call it tricky ;)
The following steps need to be proceed to get it working:
- use the config from the xdebug.ini wihtin your docker web container. Important: set remote_connect_back to off
Magic words:
psql -U postgres
Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h
or --help
depending on your psql version):
-E
: will describe the underlaying queries of the \
commands (cool for learning!)-l
: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
