> The local network here is network to which the container is attached. This has different meanings depending on the `--net` parameter specified while starting the container. In the default configuration, this parameter would trust connections from other containers on the `docker0` bridge.
## Setting `postgres` user password
By default the `postgres` user is not assigned a password and as a result you can only login to the PostgreSQL server locally. If you wish to login remotely to the PostgreSQL server as the `postgres` user, you will need to assign a password for the user using the `PG_PASSWORD` variable.
```bash
docker run --name postgresql -itd --restart always \
--env 'PG_PASSWORD=passw0rd' \
sameersbn/postgresql:9.4-10
```

> - When [persistence](#persistence) is in use, `PG_PASSWORD` is effective on the first run.
> - This feature is only available in the `latest` and versions > `9.4-10`
## Creating database user
A new PostgreSQL database user can be created by specifying the `DB_USER` and `DB_PASS` variables while starting the container.
