New versions of pgAdmin 4 are being released every month, and it's so annoying to see a popup with notification about another update. There's no option in preferences to disable it. Is there a trick to disable this particular popup, except installing the new version?

Add this line to config_local.py and restart the pgadmin4:

UPGRADE_CHECK_ENABLED=False

Note: The location of config_local.py is same as config.py. You can find the location of config.py with this command in linux:

$ find / -wholename "*/web/config.py" 2>/dev/null

If the config_local.py file doesn't exist yet, you can create one.

In Windows you can change this value directly in the config.py file found in: %ProgramFiles%\PostgreSQL\version\pgAdmin 4\web\

(where version is your PG version)

Or in later pgAdmin: %ProgramFiles%\pgAdmin 4\v6\web

(where v6 is a sub-version of pgAdmin)

If you're using the dpage/pgadmin4 Docker image, adding an environment variable disabled the check and notification.

PGADMIN_CONFIG_UPGRADE_CHECK_ENABLED=False

PGADMIN_CONFIG_ is further documented at:

It's even possible to turn off the irritating warning message "You have connected to a Server version that is older than is supported by pgAdmin. This may cause pgAdmin to break in strange and unpredictable ways. Or a plague of frogs. Either way, you have been warned!", but it's somewhat dirty (pgadmin4-server-6.9-1.el8.x86_64.rpm + pgadmin4-web-6.9-1.el8.noarch.rpm on RHEL v8.8):

  1. $ sudo cp /usr/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/static/js/generated/browser_nodes.js /usr/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/static/js/generated/browser_nodes.js
  2. $ sudo vi /usr/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/static/js/generated/browser_nodes.js
  3. Type /n.version<90500, press Enter, change the found line to 1==2, press Esc, and :x (to save and quit 'vi').

This will result in omitting the warning message unless 1==2, which is presumably - never.

IMPORTANT: Clear your browser cache if the warning message persists.
