Hello everyone,
I've recently published a new package in the AUR: pgadmin4-desktop-native.
For a long time, pgAdmin 4 has been notorious for being difficult to build and run natively on Arch due to hardcoded paths and complex dependency chains. After many iterations, I've developed a "hardened" PKGBUILD that aims to solve these issues once and for all.
Key features of this build:
- Uses system Electron (electron34) and system Python.
- Uses sed to patch upstream hardcoded /venv/bin/python3 and /web/pgAdmin4.py paths directly in the source code before building.
- Python modules are installed into a dedicated /opt/pgadmin4-native/python-packages directory to avoid conflicts with system-wide site-packages.
- Verified to build in a clean chroot (extra-x86_64-build).

GitHub: https://github.com/IlyaP358/pgadmin4-desktop-native
I created this because other AUR alternatives were often broken or outdated. I've tested it on Vanilla Arch and CachyOS (Wayland/Hyprland), and it runs flawlessly.
Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are highly appreciated! =]
A quick note on the GitHub repo: it might look a bit "cluttered" with legacy artifacts from earlier build experiments. I've focused my energy on the PKGBUILD's logic rather than repository housekeeping, so consider it "organized chaos" for now. =]
