I am using a lowcode builder and I am trying to connect nocodb as a postgress database. It is asking for this information

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/nocodb/original/1X/483c99b66c6e1d041fb2f0b5ad015d4395c96829.png)  
I can find all of the other information on my docker but I cannot find what the nocodb host is anywhere? Something like “[my.postgresql.host.com](http://my.postgresql.host.com)”.

Any idea where to find this?

Thanks!

When I import the connection string it fills in the host as “nocodedb\_nocodb-db”  
but when I test the connection I get this error  
"Connection failed

getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND nocodedb\_nocodb-db"

it doesnt seem right because it does not a url

Sorry, its not clear what are you trying to achieve here. If you are trying to connect to selfhosted nocodb’s postgres server. You will have to figure that from your deployment.
