I can't find message "Unknown host" in the pgAdmin source. I'd have to check
but I assume pgAdmin delegates all connection management to psycopg.

How do you run pgAdmin? From the top of my head there's the desktop version,
server version, and Docker container version. In case of the server version
it's plausible that the server uses different DNS settings than your laptop.
Docker containers should inherit the DNS settings of the host but that can be
changed as well.
