Configuring PGAdmin Server Mode on Ubuntu

Hello

My web runs well following the tutorial on how to setup Django gunicorn, systemd and as we know, there is a line in the nginx file that reads like this:

proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;

However, the issue that I am anticipating while reading the tutorial on how to install pgadmin4 on server mode is that in there it says that we need to add this line

location / {
        proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/pgadmin4.sock;
        include proxy_params;
    }

which, as we see, either conflicts (or replaces or does it just add one more? ) to the first one cited above.

Heya,

Instead of putting both inside location / {}, define separate paths for each service:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
        include proxy_params;
    }

    location /pgadmin4/ {
        proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/pgadmin4.sock;
        include proxy_params;
    }
}

Requests to / (the root path) go to your Django app.
Requests to /pgadmin4/ go to pgAdmin.
This way, both services can run under the same domain without conflict. An Alternative would be to run pgAdmin on a Subdomain
