I am trying to set up postgres with docker. I want to verify the address for my database, thus I tried ping 0.0.0.0:5432 and ping 127.0.0.1:5432 and ping localhost:5432, but all returned Unknown host and cannot be resolved.

Why is that? what is the correct address for postgres? My psql is running correctly.

postgresql

It is not clear from the question, but if the database is running in the docker container, make sure you exposed the 5432 port to the host machine. Use --expose if you are starting container with docker run ... (doc) or add

ports:
      - "5432:5432"

to your docker-compose file (doc)
