I read messages sometimes from people having problems installing pgadmin, I
use the Docker version and I want to encourage people to try Docker instead
because it's made managing services like pgadmin so easy for me. So for
example, here are the steps I took this morning to upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7

1. docker-compose down
2. edit file docker-compose.yml to change '4.6' to '4.7'
3. docker-compose up

That's it. Many thanks to dpage for maintaining the Docker image that I use.
See https://hub.docker.com/r/dpage/pgadmin4

I use Docker Compose for this project because I have pgadmin bundled in
with postgres/postgis and geoserver. I also use a separate Compose setup to
provide a reverse proxy and Let's Encrypt in front of pgadmin and
geoserver. If you are getting started with Docker and only need pgadmin you
can run that service standalone following the instructions in the docker.com
link above.

Singing the praises of Docker is outside the immediate purview of this list
so please feel free to write to me directly if you want more information or
help with it.

BTW I love the work you all have done with making pgadmin cloud-based, it's
a great fit for my own workflow where I can't install an app like pgadmin3
on every computer I touch.
