Looks like I messed up my local setup somehow.

docker-compose ps

shows

db_postgres_1

stuck at “Restarting” and Prisma commands can’t connect to the service

A problem that I had while starting up was that the restart policy in the example docker file was set as always, which is a bad practice for local development since you'll have continuesly running your environment, when you have multiple folders with multiple docker compose files they might interfere.
