Install Discourse for development using Docker

Documentation Developer Guides
, ,
130

I’ve been running for 6 months or so in this configuration but today my usual workflow in docker fails with a message that Discourse can’t connect to the database.

Is there some issue caused by the recent Postgres 13 upgrade?

After many failed attempts I decided to re-do the boot init. I’ve removed all discourse_dev containers and have run:

bletch@BletchUbuntu:~/RubymineProjects/discourse$ git pull

I’ve tried entering the container as root and running psql but it yields.

root@discourse:/# psql 
psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
	Is the server running locally and accepting
	connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

The Postgres inside the container has indeed been updated.

root@discourse:/# psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 13.1 (Debian 13.1-1.pgdg100+1)

Any pointers?
