The error you're seeing (password authentication failed for user "odoo") indicates that the PostgreSQL database is rejecting the connection due to incorrect credentials. You can resolve this by ensuring that the POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and DB_USER environment variables in your docker-compose.yml file are correctly set and consistent between the Odoo and PostgreSQL containers.

For example:
'''
services:

  db:

    image: postgres:13

    environment:

      POSTGRES_USER: odoo

      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: odoo

      POSTGRES_DB: odoo

  odoo:

    image: odoo:18

    environment:

      - HOST=db

      - USER=odoo

      - PASSWORD=odoo

    depends_on:

      - db


'''

Ensure that both containers have matching credentials for the odoo user. After adjusting the configuration, rebuild the containers with docker-compose up --build.

Hi,

Here are a few things to try to resolve the issue:

Environment Variable Names: For Odoo, make sure the database-related environment variables in your web service match the expected naming format in Odoo:
'''
environment:
- DB_HOST=db
- DB_USER=odoo
- DB_PASSWORD=odoo
'''

Rebuild Containers: Run docker-compose down -v to remove all containers and volumes, then docker-compose up --build to rebuild and start fresh.

Confirm pg_hba.conf Configuration: Ensure that the PostgreSQL configuration in the pg_hba.conf file (usually found in /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata when using Docker) is set to md5 for authentication instead of scram-sha-256.

Hallo Michael Angelo, I did try the changed name of environment variables you mentioned but it seems the error persists, I also changed the config file of postgres with attatched volumes and the contents to be md5, then I get the same error message but this time with md5 at the end instead of the name of the other encryption.
