Obviously not a GUI, but WSL is pretty nice for this, even if you don't need it for anything else. You can run things like

  wsl.exe -d Ubuntu -u root /some/linux/script 
From powershell or the cmd.exe console. There's a bit of fiddling required to connect from windows to the WSL postgres instance, but once that's done, it's a nice setup.

Edit: You can also use WSL as a sort of "docker like" setup, using wsl --export / wsl --import to make WSL images with different versions of Postgres, start/stop them, etc. With a small distro like Alpine, it's relatively fast.



Yes, this is what I'm currently doing (or using WSL directly together with Clion)
