Thanks, it’s a really useful walk-through for someone just starting to learn databases (data science course) and new to Ubuntu. The only point I got stuck on was the “run the web setup script which ships with the pgdmin4 binary package, to configure the system to run in web mode”.

I had to search elsewhere to find what this script was and how to run it, the following worked:

sudo /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-web.sh

@Paul,

You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear that the issue has been resolved and that pgAdmin4 is now working in remote mode. It’s often the case that minor settings adjustments can make a significant difference in resolving connectivity problems.

@Paul,

If you are experiencing issues connecting to pgAdmin4 on a Debian virtual machine (VM) from another machine, make sure that the network configuration of the VM is correctly set to bridged mode, allowing it to obtain an IP address on the same network as your physical machine.

Check the firewall settings on the VM to make sure that port 80 or the port specified for pgAdmin4 is open in your firewall rules.

Also, check the web server logs for any errors or misconfigurations that might be causing the crash.

Finally it works in remote mode, it was just a matter of settings. A big thank-you.

I followed the tutorial, everything works, however, when I try to connect from another machine, it crashes. I have a vmware on which a debian is installed, from the physical machine I tried to connect to the address http://debian_ip_address_server/pgadmin4, unfortunately without result.
