I have a discourse install using docker and I was wondering how do I find/connect to the database connection information like (username,db,password), Thanks in advanced! 
What problem are you trying to solve?
You can get to postgres like
./launcher enter app
su - postgres
psql
You can use the data explorer plugin to do queries from the UX.
I think the user is discourse and allows connection from within the container.

I was trying to get the database connection information like username and password so I could connect from an external source but I don’t know how to get the connection info.
The way to do that is usually to use the API or the data explorer plugin.
It’s possible to enter the container like I said and add a user and then open the port on the app.yml, but that’s usually not recommended.

I’m looking to migrate my forum from discourse to XenForo for reasons of it being lighter/cheaper to run/host. (Don’t get me wrong discourse is still great software love what was made here)
Running the Discourse to XF importer needs postgresql info…
Then just get a database dump and restore it to another postgres server.
