Expose pgadmin
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd love to view the running database cluster with pgadmin. As I was jumping between branches I found that I wanted to look at all the database in the cluster.
Describe the solution you'd like
We're already using pgadmin for diff'ing - https://github.com/supabase/cli/blob/fb935d1e4e6f25004e8cae2825ec317494474fcb/internal/utils/utils.go#L50
Does this fork include the UI? If so, can we please expose it on a new port?
Additional context
It would be awesome if it was pre-populated with the connection data so that they can login and see the cluster. Also I think pgadmin requires an admin username / password - could also be postgres/postgres

For the CLI Dockerfile, I removed the frontend JS files to speed up installation, it also uses a different ENTRYPOINT.
Might be possible to tweak the Dockerfile to support both CLI and UI but it seems easier to use the official pgadmin image for this. We're also not updating the UI in our docker image.
I'm inclined to follow unix philosophy of making one tool do one thing well. So not really in favour of exposing pgadmin even if we can.
If there's demand for a more advanced admin interface, we should also consider lightweight alternatives like adminer. Currently it seems that studio's UI and sql editor satisfy most common use cases.
Feel free to open a new discussion for alternate admin ui.
