How do I connect to a newly created DB?

I have just created my first postgres DB.
The problem I have is that, I cannot see any information anywhere on how to connect to it.
things like Db name, password, host etc, I can't find it anywhere

Can someone help with that?

Thanks.

If you deployed your database using the Linode PostgreSQL Marketplace Application, the steps to connecting to your DB can be found here:
https://www.linode.com/marketplace/apps/linode/postgresql/

If you manually installed and setup your PostgreSQL DB on your compute instance, steps to connect to your DB can be found here:
https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/centos-install-and-use-postgresql/

You can also find more information on using PostgreSQL on their official website here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/app-createdb.html

I hope that helps!
