I am trying to access my database via a GUI (Psequel).

I forwarded the port setting from my container as such:

app.yml:

```plaintext
expose:
  <standard definitions>
  - "15432:5432" # PostgreSQL

Also changed my password as such:

./launcher enter app
su - postgres
psql
ALTER ROLE postgres WITH PASSWORD '<your password>';

And I am unable to access the database. Any suggestions?
```
