# Connecting to Tableplus

If you want to inspect your pgvector container to explore your storage or knowledge base, you can use TablePlus. Follow these steps:

## Step 1: Start Your `pgvector` Container

Run the following command to start a `pgvector` container locally:

```bash theme={null}
docker run -d \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ai \
  -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
  -v pgvolume:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -p 5532:5432 \
  --name pgvector \
  phidata/pgvector:16
```

* `POSTGRES_DB=ai` sets the default database name.
* `POSTGRES_USER=ai` and `POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ai` define the database credentials.
* The container exposes port `5432` (mapped to `5532` on your local machine).

## Step 2: Configure TablePlus

1. **Open TablePlus**: Launch the TablePlus application.
2. **Create a New Connection**: Click on the `+` icon to add a new connection.
3. **Select `PostgreSQL`**: Choose PostgreSQL as the database type.

Fill in the following connection details:

* **Host**: `localhost`
* **Port**: `5532`
* **Database**: `ai`
* **User**: `ai`
* **Password**: `ai`
