The pgAdmin Development Team are pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin 4 version 1.0.
pgAdmin is the leading Open Source management and administration tool for PostgreSQL.
pgAdmin 4 is a complete rewrite of pgAdmin, built using Python and Javascript/jQuery. A desktop runtime written in C++ with Qt allows it to run standalone for individual users, or the web application code may be deployed directly on a webserver for use by one or more users through their web browser. The software has the look and feel of a desktop application whatever the runtime environment, and vastly improves on pgAdmin III with updated user interface elements, multi-user/web deployment options, dashboards and a more modern design.
The application was designed as a pluggable framework that can easily be extended with plugin modules to provide additional functionality to support other software in the PostgreSQL ecosystem, or functionality of forks of PostgreSQL.
I installed the latest pgAdmin 4 (v2.1) but I found out that (related thread), for the moment, the only way to establish a connection through an SSH tunneling is using another outside process, an example in the pgAdmin's forum says: I setup a tunnel as follows.

pgAdmin 4 is also bundled in the PostgreSQL 9.6 installers from EDB at:
- PgAdmin 4¶ Welcome to pgAdmin 4. PgAdmin is the leading Open Source management tool for Postgres, the world’s most advanced Open Source database. PgAdmin 4 is designed to meet the needs of both novice and experienced Postgres users alike, providing a powerful graphical interface that simplifies the creation, maintenance and use of database.
- The second time, I pointed it to my existing install of postgres (C: Program Files PostgreSQL 11 pgAdmin 4), but it installed itself to a subdirectory there instead (C: Program Files PostgreSQL 11 pgAdmin 4 v4), rather than upgrading the existing installation, once again yielding to duplicated installations and problems arising from that.
- Steps to connect to PostgreSQL Database from PGAdmin #1. Open the pgadmin utility #2. Go to servers right click add server #3. Enter the Host Name/IP or AWS RDS endpoint name. Once you have added it successfully. Open and try to access the remote database. Create a database for testing.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the design, implementation, testing and documentation of pgAdmin 4, estimated at well over 10,000 hours of effort over the last year. For more information about the project, please see the blog post at:

Finally, I'd like to thank the management at EDB for supporting this project and allowing me to enlist the efforts of over 15 employees from multiple teams. Without their support pgAdmin 4 would not exist today.

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:
- Make sure that you have your cloud server’s IP address and application credentials (instructions).
- Open port 5432 in the server firewall (instructions).
Pgadmin 4 Postgresql 9.3
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. Refer to the FAQ for information on opening ports in the server firewall.
- Connect to your cloud server using PuTTY or another SSH client (instructions).
- At the server console, edit the file /opt/bitnami/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf and add the following at the end, then save the file:
- Edit the file /opt/bitnami/postgresql/conf/postgresql.conf and replace this linewith:
- Save the file.
- Restart the PostgreSQL server:
Open Pgadmin4
Your PostgreSQL server is now configured to accept remote connections, and you can connect to it using pgAdmin 4. Follow these steps:
Pgadmin Can't Reach This Page
- Launch pgAdmin 4.
- Go to the “Dashboard” tab. In the “Quick Link” section, click “Add New Server” to add a new connection.
- 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:
