I will try to write something up that is succinct and post a link here, it's going to be a very long weekend, I think. I was scheduled to present on Docker at a conference in April so I guess I can just pretend it's still happening and prepare for it anyway.

I have found Docker so useful that I want people to know about it, I have no connection with the project.

[Ken Benson] What are the advantages – specifically for PgAdmin 4?
Will Docker run on a Windows platform?
Maybe I’ll wait for the ‘movie’ 😊

My advice to anyone using pgadmin4 is to try running it in Docker.
I replied privately to George with more details. I can forward all that here if people want.
You might end up using Docker only for pgadmin4 but once you get used to using it I think it will be a valuable tool for you. The longer I use it the more places it fits in.

I’m curious – what is Docker and where can I find some information on running PgAdmin 4 in Docker?
