This is exactly what I needed, thanks for starting the discussion! I've been struggling to get n8n to connect to my PostgreSQL database.

Thanks for the tip about the .env file! Can you share an example of how you're using it in your docker-compose.yml file?

Regarding environment variables, I've found that using a .env file with Docker compose makes it easy to manage database credentials and other sensitive info.

Great topic! I've been using n8n with PostgreSQL for a while now, and I've found that using a separate container for the database is the way to go. 🔥

I'm just starting out with n8n and Docker, can you share an example of your docker-compose.yml file?

I've had issues with n8n and PostgreSQL in the past, but using environment variables to configure the database connection has been a game changer. Has anyone else tried this approach?

For those who are new to n8n and Docker, I'd recommend checking out the official n8n documentation - it has a great section on getting started with Docker-compose. 📚
