I was able to connect other software normally:

any direction?

Hello,

I think the error is pretty clear. It says to check the hostname and the port. This is most of the times about the hostname. Are you sure the Jira and the postgres are running on the same server? If not you can't use 'localhost'. If they are running on the same server, you can try to use 127.0.0.1 maybe it helps.

Hi Elifcan,

In fact I was able to connect perfectly using localhost in an application other than Jira. On the other hand, I am running Jira and PostgreSQL using docker compose as follows:

Could you tell me what I forgot?

Yatta!

Based on your answer, I just had to change localhost to the name of the container running PostgreSQL.

Thank you very much!

Hello, you should have lead with "I'm using Docker" :) Things are different with docker. I'm glad you solved it. Cheers.
