Couldn't run with db PostgreSQL

Hi, I new here. Went through the Quickstart tutorial and trying to test it out with sqlite and PostgreSQL. sqlite works fine but i cant get PostgreSQL to work. Help is appreciated. Thank you!

ormconfig.json

{
    "type": "postgres",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432,
    "username": "test",
    "password": "test",
    "database": "test",
    "synchronize": true,
    "logging": false,
    "entities": [
        "src/entity/**/*.ts"
    ],
    "migrations": [
        "src/migration/**/*.ts"
    ],
    "subscribers": [
        "src/subscriber/**/*.ts"
    ]
}

npm start

{ Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432 at Object._errnoException (util.js:1019:11) at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1041:20) at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1175:14) code: ‘ECONNREFUSED’, errno: ‘ECONNREFUSED’, syscall: ‘connect’, address: ‘127.0.0.1’, port: 5432 }

package.json

no, I mean postgres application. Did you install postgres application ? Do you have experience working with databases at all?

Since Docker is a virtual machine, you have to use its ip to connect to your database.

If you’re using Windows, try the following command in Docker’s terminal: docker-machine ip Put this ip in HOST (in whatever GUI you’re using, in my case, postbird) instead of using “localhost”.

Make sure you use the correct port as well. You can check which port the database is using by doing docker ps to list any running container. If none is returned in the above command, use docker ps -a to list all containers and then docker start NAME, where NAME is the name of the database you want to start.

Hope this helps.
