PgAdmin 4

NOTE: We are in the process of modifying the file structure and configuration for many Bitnami stacks. On account of these changes, the file paths stated in this guide may change depending on whether your Bitnami stack uses native Linux system packages (Approach A), or if it is a self-contained installation (Approach B). To identify your Bitnami installation type and what approach to follow, run the command below:

The output of the command indicates which approach (A or B) is used by the installation, and will allow you to identify the paths, configuration and commands to use in this guide. Refer to the FAQ for more information on these changes.

NOTE: This section assumes that you have downloaded and installed pgAdmin 4.

This release of pgAdmin 4 includes 42 bug fixes and new features. For more details please see the release notes. PgAdmin is the leading Open Source graphical management tool for PostgreSQL. For more information, please see the website. PgAdmin is a graphical tool for administering PostgreSQL database servers like phpMyAdmin to MySQL/MariaDB database servers. At the time of this writing, pgAdmin 4 is the latest version.

pgAdmin is the most popular and feature-rich platform for administration and development of PostgreSQL databases. Check the pgAdmin official page for more information.

To connect to your remote PostgreSQL database server using pgAdmin 4, follow these steps:

NOTE: In the steps below, you will be modifying a couple of PostgreSQL configuration files. Depending on your installation type, these files will be located in the following paths:

Approach A (Bitnami installations using system packages):
- PostgreSQL configuration settings file: /opt/bitnami/postgresql/conf/postgresql.conf
- PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file: /opt/bitnami/postgresql/conf/pg_hba.conf
Approach B (Self-contained Bitnami installations):
- PostgreSQL configuration settings file: /opt/bitnami/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf
- PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file: /opt/bitnami/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf

Make sure that you have your cloud server’s IP address and application credentials (instructions).
Open port 5432 in the server firewall (instructions).
IMPORTANT: By default, the database port for the nodes in this solution cannot be accessed over a public IP address. As a result, you will only be able to connect to your database nodes from machines that are running in the same network. For security reasons, we do not recommend making the database port accessible over a public IP address. If you must make it accessible over a public IP address, we recommend restricting access to a trusted list of source IP addresses using firewall rules. For development purposes, you can also use a VPN or SSH tunnel. Refer to the FAQ for information on accessing restricted ports using an SSH tunnel or opening ports in the server firewall.
Connect to your cloud server using PuTTY or another SSH client (instructions).
At the server console, edit the PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file pg_hba.conf and add the following at the end, then save the file:
Edit the PostgreSQL configuration file postgresql.conf file and replace this line
with:
Save the file.
Restart the PostgreSQL server:

Select the “Connection” tab in the “Create-Server” window.
Then, configure the connection as follows:
Enter your server’s IP address in the “Hostname/Address” field.
Specify the “Port” as “5432”.
Enter the name of the database in the “Database Maintenance” field.
Enter your username as postgres and password (use the same password you used when previously configuring the server to accept remote connections) for the database.
Click “Save” to apply the configuration.
Check that the connection between pgAdmin 4 and the PostgreSQL database server is active. Navigate to the “Dashboard” tab and find the state of the server in the “Server activity” section:

Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.
