CloudBeaver is an open-source database management tool that allows you to manage multiple databases in a centralized manner. If you're an Elementary OS user, this tutorial will show you how to install CloudBeaver on your system.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
CloudBeaver is built in Java, so you need to have Java installed on your system. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install default-jre
Once Java is installed, you can check its version by running:
java -version
To download CloudBeaver, go to their official website at https://cloudbeaver.io/ and select the "Download" button in the top-right corner.
Choose the appropriate version for your system and then wait for it to download. Once the download is complete, you should have a file called cloudbeaver-<version>-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz in your Downloads folder.
Next, extract the archive to a directory of your choice. To do this, open the terminal and navigate to the Downloads folder by running:
cd ~/Downloads
Then, extract the CloudBeaver archive by running:
tar -zxvf cloudbeaver-<version>-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz
This should create a new directory called cloudbeaver in your Downloads folder.
To install CloudBeaver, enter the following commands in the terminal:
cd cloudbeaver/bin
./cloudbeaver.sh
This will launch CloudBeaver. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process.
Once CloudBeaver is installed, you can launch it by navigating to the cloudbeaver/bin directory and running:
./cloudbeaver.sh
You should now be able to use CloudBeaver to manage your databases.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install CloudBeaver on your Elementary OS system. Now that CloudBeaver is up and running, you can start using it to manage your databases.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
