RE: Consider default SERVER_MODE =True for pgadmin4-v1-web

Yes, it would break the default installation mode (desktop).

The web package is "the web components of pgadmin", not "pgadmin to run in web mode".

I tend to just edit that setting in config_local.py as I need it, but then also include:

# Use a different config DB for each server mode.

if SERVER_MODE == False:

    SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join(

        DATA_DIR,

        'pgadmin4-desktop.db'

    )

else:

    SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join(

        DATA_DIR,

        'pgadmin4-server.db'

    ) 

Anyway, to the main point - I've been trying to figure out a half-decent way of being able to support both server and desktop modes out of the box; and have yet to come up with anything that wouldn't be a tangled mess of config files. I still have some ideas though, and hope to explore them some more tomorrow.
