What you're trying to do is not supported, and will not work in a safe and secure manner without a significant amount of effort (probably development effort, not just on your part). The supported ways to run pgAdmin are documented at https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/6.7/deployment.html (ignore the Cloud Deployment link - that's something different that needs to be moved). If you want to run pgAdmin in a container, follow the instructions in the container deployment section. The container that will be deployed is a Linux one, which (I believe) you can deploy using Docker with WSL or Hyper-V. -- Dave Page Blog: https://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
