If you are trying to get into the Postgres CLI, enter the container with:
`./launcher enter app`
then run `su postgres -c 'psql discourse'`
The port is `5432`
The user is `postgres`
The database name is `discourse`

You might get a more useful answer if you’ll share what you really want to do that you think the postgres information will help. It’s accessible only inside the docker container, so you won’t be able to connect to it with any tools outside the docker container.
Maybe you want the [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin, for example.
