I am trying to use this tool but I cannot connect to my existing database.

Hello, can you please provide context and support your issue with details so we can help investigate?

I assume you have trouble connecting to your local PostgreSQL server, we do that using the user socket if the user in PSQL has the same name as your unix user. This should work fine if you followed the install instructions for Odoo from source.

My database is shared between 2 developers using the same machine, so the connection is remote and not via socket, and logically it has authentication.
Another Setting would be when we have the Postgres database in a Docker on the same machine.
