Unable to Connect to Postgres about piicatcher HOT 5 CLOSED

If you are using docker then localhost is a docker container rather than your host machine, use host.docker.internal instead to access it

from piicatcher.

@morty29 Sorry, for delay but i am not running with docker, i tested with docker today and your solution works with that, but not working with system postgres

from piicatcher.

This is problem with settings of postgresql on your local box. However it is hard to guess which setting is missing or misconfigured in your postgresql setup. Stackoverflow has a few different solutions. Can you try those? As such there is no restriction or known issue with using piicatcher with local postgres.

Validated with host.docker.internal as hostname instead of localhost inside container and working as expected.
Also we have added docker-compose.yml which has databases along with playground container of python. You can use

piicatcher catalog add-mysql --name mariadb_password --username root --database piidb --uri host.docker.internal --port 3306 --password ROOT_ACCESS_PASSWORD

piicatcher catalog scan --source-name mariadb_password

Closing the issue for now, Please reopen if still face issue.
