+## Database access
+
+PostgreSQL runs in Docker. Any GUI client works (IntelliJ IDEA, DBeaver, TablePlus,
+pgAdmin) — same idea as a normal remote database.
+
+### Local dev (`docker compose up`)
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|--------|
+| Host | `localhost` |
+| Port | `5432` |
+| Database | from `.env` → `POSTGRES_DB` (default `bilhej`) |
+| User / password | `POSTGRES_USER` / `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` |
+
+**IntelliJ IDEA:** Database tool window → `+` → Data Source → PostgreSQL → fill in above →
+Test Connection → OK.
+
+**CLI:**
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it bilhej-postgres psql -U bilhej -d bilhej
+```
+
+### Production (server)
+
+Postgres is bound to **localhost only** on the server (`127.0.0.1:5433`) so it is not
+exposed to the internet. Use an **SSH tunnel** from your laptop, then point IntelliJ (or
+DBeaver) at `localhost`.
+
+1. On the server, recreate the stack once so the port mapping is active (after deploy).
+
+2. From your laptop:
+
+```bash
+ssh -N -L 5433:127.0.0.1:5433 you@srvr.nu
+```
+
+3. In IntelliJ / DBeaver:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|--------|
+| Host | `localhost` |
+| Port | `5433` |
+| Database | prod `POSTGRES_DB` |
+| User / password | prod secrets |
+
+**CLI on the server** (no GUI):
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it bilhej-postgres-prod psql -U bilhej -d bilhej
+```
+
+### Manual prod cleanup (keep data, remove dev seeds)
+
+```sql
+DELETE FROM orders
+WHERE user_id = 'a0eebc99-9c0b-4ef8-bb6d-6bb9bd380a11';
+
+DELETE FROM users
+WHERE email IN ('test@bilhalsning.se', 'test@bilhej.se', 'admin@bilhalsning.se');
+```
+
+Then deploy with `ADMIN_EMAIL` / `ADMIN_PASSWORD` set — the app creates the production
+admin on startup. No need to insert a password hash by hand.
+
+To generate a bcrypt hash manually (optional):
+
+```bash
+./gradlew hashPassword -Ppassword='your-strong-password'
+```
