Connect Airbyte in Docker container to local postgres db instance

Question

I recently setup an instance of Airbyte on my local machine using a Docker container. I also have a local instance of Postgres running which I would like to use as a data source in Airbyte. It seems like I cannot connect to the local Postgres instance because of the Docker container. Any thoughts on how to establish this connectivity?

Answer 1

I joined the Airbyte Slack channel and was told to use host.docker.internal instead of "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" and it worked.
