Description
Proposal
Percona's operator is forked from Crunchy Data's PGO, which ships a working PGAdmin controller. Percona still carries the inherited CRD shape, but there's no reconciler behind it - creating a PGAdmin CR is a no-op.
Before asking for it back, I'd like to understand the reasoning:
- was dropping the pgAdmin controller during the fork intentional or simply code that didn't get ported over?
- If it was a deliberate call, what drove it?
Use-Case
- Teams using local PGAdmin and want to move to centrelized one
- quick diagnostic access for on-call engineers who don't want to kubectl exec into a pod or open a psql tunnel just to run a query during an incident.
- Teams migrating from Crunchy PGO who hit this gap during migration and have to bolt on their own pgAdmin deployment/Ingress by hand, per cluster, with no operator-managed lifecycle
Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?
Maybe
Anything else?
The CRD scaffolding already exists in the codebase
so this is closer to "re-enable a controller" than "design new API surface"
unless we want to redisgn it and then I will be happy to help do so 😄

Research direction
Start by locating the existing PGAdmin CRD scaffolding and comparing it with Crunchy Data's working PGAdmin controller; the issue names no specific files or tests. Determine whether the controller was intentionally omitted, with completion meaning that creating a PGAdmin CR is reconciled and its lifecycle is managed by the operator rather than being a no-op.
