What's wrong with psql? I don't like the idea of exposing this port because I sometimes have services running on my machine which already use that port (a persistent postgres database for personal experiments)...

Perhaps we could use docker compose profiles?

psql is TUI, while I prefer a GUI solution (especially built-in to VSCode) that always shows you the list of tables on the left that ou can quickly navigate through, provide syntax highlighting, autocompletion (not just basic SQL syntax but table names, and column names), error squiggles etc.

I've changed the default port number for postgres to 5400, with the override configurable via a .env
