Problem Description
I would like to use the psql in the postgres image in order to run some queries on the database.
But unfortunately when I attach to the postgres container, I got that error the psql command is not found...
For me a little bit it is a mystery how I can run postgre sql queries or commands in the container.
How run the psql command in the postgres container? (I am a new guy in Docker world)
I use Ubuntu as a host machine, and I did not install the postgres on the host machine, I use the postgres container instead.
