35-35: Verify database connectivity with the new host configuration.The change from
postgrestolocalhostaligns with the documentation updates. However, we should verify that:
- The database is accessible on localhost
- The application can connect to it successfully
✅ Verification successful
Change to localhost is correct for devcontainer environment
The modification from
postgrestolocalhostin.env.devcontaineris valid and follows proper devcontainer patterns. The database will be accessible because:
- The PostgreSQL container port is correctly mapped to the host
- The devcontainer configuration includes proper networking setup
- This follows standard Docker development container practices

🧹 Nitpick (assertive)
Simplify PostgreSQL setup instructions.
The instructions have been simplified by removing manual database creation steps. However, we should clarify that the PostgreSQL service needs to be stopped to avoid port conflicts with the Docker container.
1. Install the PostgreSQL database.
```bash
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo systemctl disable postgresql.service
sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service
```
+ 1. The PostgreSQL service must be stopped to avoid port conflicts with the Docker container
