database - Postgresql Docker role does not exist

I downloaded the docker container for postgres: https://hub.docker.com/r/library/postgres/, and did the following:

$ docker run --name satgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d -p 5432:5432 postgres
satgres | "docker-entrypoint.s…" | 5 seconds ago | Up 6 seconds | 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp | satgres
$ docker exec -it c8f1b22cc41e /bin/bash        
# psql -U postgres
psql (10.1)
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE mytest;
postgres=# password postgres
postgres=# CREATE ROLE ming WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'pass1234';
postgres=# ALTER ROLE ming CREATEDB;
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE sjk;
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE youtube TO ming;
postgres=# connect sjk
youtube=# ALTER ROLE ming lOGIN;  

My plan is to use this database on docker with Django, so first want to check I can connect, but I cant.

$ psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres
$ psql: FATAL:  role "postgres" does not exist
$ psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U ming
$ psql: FATAL:  role "ming" does not exist

I do the same with PSequal.app, says the same thing, Im running on Mac High Sierra.

Why am I getting this error? The role exists, or at least it seems it to me...

The problem was simple enough that my computer was already running an instance of Postgres that I was not aware was still running (not inside Docker) on :5432, checked with:

$ lsof -n -i:5432 | grep LISTEN

So I remembered I installed it via https://gist.github.com/sgnl/609557ebacd3378f3b72, I ran

$ pg-stop

And then I had no problem connecting to the Docker instance.

Edit (2019/07/02)

This question recently passed 10,000 views, so I thought I should elaborate more on why this happened.

Usually running through docker, using python and connecting to a postgres database requires you to install psycopg2, via pip3 install psycopg2, but if you run this command you will get:

Error: pg_config executable not found.

This is because psycopg2 requires an operating system install of the postgres libraries:

yum install postgresql-devel
apt-get install postgresql-client

Now, on a Mac, you will need to do the same with brew:

brew install postgresql

One thing that I didn't realise, is that on Mac, doing the above will not only install required libraries, but also start a database on :5432. Because this was all done in the background, it didn't occur to me that this was the problem as none of the usual errors popped up to inform that the port was being used, etc...
