Chainguard Container for pgadmin4

pgAdmin is an open source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL.

Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.

Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/pgadmin4:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

Compatibility Notes

Chainguard’s pgAdmin image is a minimal, Wolfi-based container image. It mirrors the dpage/pgadmin4 image found on Docker Hub in functionality but has fewer dependencies, minimizing its attack surface.

Getting Started

Helm

To deploy pgAdmin with Helm, create a values manifest leveraging Chainguard's image:

cat > ./values.yaml <<EOF
values:
  image:
    registry: "cgr.dev"
    repository: "ORGANIZATION/pgadmin4"
    tag: "latest"
EOF

Then add the Helm repository:

helm repo add runix https://helm.runix.net

And install the chart:

helm install pgadmin4 runix/pgadmin4 -f ./values.yaml

Optionally, you can port forward pgAdmin:

kubectl port-forward svc/pgadmin4 8080:80

pgAdmin will now be accessible via localhost:8080.

Please note that the default email set in the chart is chart@domain.com and that the default password is SuperSecret. These should be changed in a production deployment.

You can find additional Helm chart values in this GitHub repository.

Docker

Alternatively, Chainguard's pgAdmin image can be used with Docker:

docker run -p 8080:80 \
    -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL="EMAIL" \
    -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD="PASSWORD" \
    -d cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/pgadmin4:latest

After running this command,pgAdmin will be accessible at localhost:8080.

The official pgAdmin documentation includes additional information on deploying pgAdmin using a container image.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev variant.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
