pgAdmin4-5.1 for Arch distros (decompiled from deb)

#postgres #archlinux #docker #showdev

The link to *.pkg.tar.zst is here.

This is a temporary (?) solution to my rant. And the tarball with make + make install does not work. (And installing from pip is not as beautiful as Ubuntu.)

pgadmin4 in AUR is outdated.

$ yay -Ss pgadmin4 community/pgadmin4 4.30-1 (30.7 MiB 118.4 MiB) (Installed) Comprehensive design and management interface for PostgreSQL

I am not running latest supported Ubuntu or Debian right now, so I used Docker.

FROM debian:bullseye-slim RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y curl gnupg2 lsb-release RUN curl https://www.pgadmin.org/static/packages_pgadmin_org.pub | apt-key add RUN echo "deb https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/$(lsb_release -cs) pgadmin4 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgadmin4.list && apt-get update RUN apt-get install -o dir::cache::archives="/" -d -y pgadmin4 ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/bash", "-c", "cp pgadmin4*.deb /out/" ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then,

docker build -t pgadmin4-get . docker run -v $(pwd)/out:/out pgadmin4-get
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then, use debtap

debtap pgadmin4-server_5.1_amd64.deb debtap pgadmin4-desktop_5.1_amd64.deb debtap pgadmin4-web_5.1_all.deb
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

However, for the last two files, we need to edit dependencies to avoid circular deps (which there is already an option in debtap).

Don't blame me for decompiling this on Manjaro Linux, though. Otherwise, do it on real Arch yourself...
