this automatically for pull requests and release candidates, but it's sometimes
useful to reproduce this locally.
To do so, [configure Postgres](../postgres.md) and run `trial` with the
#### Using Docker
The easiest way to do so is to run Postgres via a docker container. In one
terminal:
```shell
docker run --rm -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=postgress -p 5432:5432 postgres:14

then something is already bound to port 5432. You're probably already running postgres locally.
Once you have a postgres server running, invoke `trial` in a second terminal:
```shell

If you have postgres already installed on your system, you can run `trial` with the
following environment variables matching your configuration:
