Thanks for the detailed explanation. Yes, I currently run it the runtime mode.
Good to know pgadmin4.db will be auto-migrated. But to prevent it from re-migrating every time the container starts afresh, I guess it’s better to re-add pgadmin4.db every once a while after I have upgraded to a new version?
