Updated devcontainer to include a postgresql , the configuration is in here. Username and password are configured in there and can be changed if desired. Additionally a feature was added to the devcontainer which runs Docker in Docker. From a users perspective this means that postgresql is run in a container inside the devcontainer, and you can see the container running on the standard port 5432. You can connect to the container using the command:

psql -h localhost -U controlpanel
