Description
The current pgadmin4-web package for Debian only offers support for the Apache httpd server. The documentation indicates that configuration and use of the Nginx server is possible. Since Nginx in general has a lead over Apache in current usage (33% vs. 25% accorrding to one source), it would be advisable for PgAdmin to have a Debian package with support for the former, out of the box, so to speak.
The alternative is to install the current package and then configure it to run under Nginx rather than Apache, which is not as convenient, or building your own pgadmin4 from sources.
I should add that installing the pgadmin4-web package on a machine already running Nginx, fails AFAICT because Apache wants to take over port 80.
