The default listening port is 6432.

⁠Configuration

A minimal pgbouncer.ini might look like:

postgres = host=postgres port=5432 dbname=postgres

[pgbouncer]
listen_addr = 0.0.0.0
listen_port = 6432
auth_type = scram-sha-256
auth_file = /etc/pgbouncer/userlist.txt
pool_mode = transaction

See the PgBouncer documentation⁠ for all available settings.
