can you help me please?
I have a Chirpstack 4 container.
I wish to use the Postgresql database I installed using “apt install…” locally on the machine in a container of a Chirpstack.
IP of my machine is 10.0.2.45 and Postgresql is running on ports 5432 and 5433.
I know I should be able to reach it because I made a container in the same docker network 172.19.0.0/16
and installed postgresql client to try to connect to a database on the same machine 10.0.2.45 and it did!
But then I try again multiple time with chirpstack and I keep getting this error:
…
2023-03-12T21:24:30.454103Z INFO chirpstack::storage: Setting up PostgreSQL connection pool
Error: Setup PostgreSQL connection pool error
Caused by:

…
and then it restarts again and again.
I see the problem is it tries to connect to localhost of the container and it doesn’t have postgresql server.
But I already gave environment variables:
- POSTGRESQL_HOST=10.0.2.45
- POSTGRESQL_PORT=5432
I’m getting the same error but my circumstance is a little different. I’ve done the chirpstack v4 docker install on a debian 11 vagrant box. It appears there is something in the way the postgres db is configured that causes that problem. I have:
Mapped port 5432
Use localhost for the postgres host in the chirpstack .toml file
Added to postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = ‘*’
Added to pg_hba.conf:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all all all trust
I’m looking for more things to try but have been unsucessful. Postgres worked fine with chirpstack v3 installed directly to debian 11 (not using docker)
To clarify - I’m using the postgres database set up by chirpstack docker. Originally I used localhost. I’ve also tried the ip of the vagrant box where docker is running.

This is running on a debian 11 vagrant box, I have also tried the eht0 and docker0 ip addresses as well as localhost for the hostname. I have tried all of this both with and without the postgres configuration changes mentioned above.
