Error connecting to Citus master

[aliyildizoz]

Hi, I am getting the following error when trying to connect to citus master with psql commands.

psql -h localhost -U postgres -p 5500
psql: error: server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

But I am able to connect without error with the following command.

docker exec -it citus_master psql -U postgres
psql (13.2 (Debian 13.2-1.pgdg100+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=#

I need to connect to citus with psql commands as it needs to be connected via Node Js application.
Or is there another way to do this?
Thank you.

I faced same issue with latest 10.2 docker image on windows and also had a local postgresql13 running as a windows service, I stopped that service, and then was able to connect to the postgresql docker instance using psql from the command prompt.
