### Connect to a host running PostgreSQL

To connect pgadmin4 with a database running in a host you have to modify two files in the host, pg-hba.conf and postgresql.conf

Can you;

  • change "pgadmin4" to "pgAdmin 4" (capital "A", and a space before the "4"; it's the preferred naming that's used)
  • put the pg-hba.conf and postgresql.conf in back tics (here, and in the other lines below) so that they are presented in a fixed-width font? i.e.;
To connect pgadmin4 with a database running in a host you have to modify two files in the host, `pg-hba.conf` and `postgresql.conf`
  • wrap long lines to 80-characters?


Open the pg-hba.conf
```bash
#change 9.x to your PostgreSQL version
$ sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.x/main/pg_hba.conf
```

And add the line
```conf
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 trust
```

`0.0.0.0/0` means any host is allowed to connect, that can be replaced by the your container ip address

"that can be replaced by the your container ip address"; looks like "your" should be removed; can you change to:

`0.0.0.0/0` means any host is allowed to connect. To restrict access to the pgAdmin container,
you can change this to the containers' IP-address.


Open the postgresql.conf changing 9.x to your postgres version.

can you change "postgres version" to "PostgreSQL version"?


```bash
#change 9.x to your PostgreSQL version
$ sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.x/main/postgresql.conf
```

And add the line

```conf
listen_addresses = '*'
```
`'*'` means your host is listening all ip address. Again, you can replace by your container ip address

`'*'` configures your PostgreSQL server to listen on all IP addresses.

Perhaps remove the second sentence ("Again, you can replace by your container ip address"), because container IP-addresses are generally random assigned, so listening on any address that the container listens on should be good


Now just discover your local ip using `ifconfig`, and put it in the `hostname/address` field, when create a new server in pgadmin4, to connect the database host.

Perhaps something like;

Now, create a new server connection in pgAdmin, and put your hosts' IP-address
in the `host name/address` field. You can find your hosts' IP address using the
`ifconfig` command.
