Today I lost way too much time trying to understand why I couldn’t see data in a PostgreSQL database running inside a Docker container. I was connected via DBeaver, everything looked fine:

• connection successful
• schemas visible
• but no tables

To Run PostgreSQL in Docker I use an official image ‘postgres’ from https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres. You can start it as it’s described in the documentation, but I prefer to use docker-compose. For me it’s more flexible and allows to avoid of errors when start form command line.
