Here we determine the IP address of the Docker container we want to SSH into. In our case, the NGINX container has an IP address of 172.17.0.2. We can now attempt to connect to this IP address via SSH and the root account. $ ssh [email protected] At this point, you’ll either connect successfully to the running container, or get a “connection. Run the PostgreSQL server container (in the foreground): $ docker run -rm -P -name pgtest egpostgresql. There are two ways to connect to the PostgreSQL server. We can use Link Containers, or we can access it from our host (or the network). Note: The -rm removes the container and its image when the container exits successfully.
