For the full list of supported databases, see Supported databases.

Subscription and licensing

CloudBeaver GCP is available through the Google Cloud Marketplace.

Your total deployment cost depends on the CloudBeaver Marketplace plan and the Google Cloud resources used by the deployment.

You get 14 days free trial with access to all CloudBeaver features. During the trial, you pay only for the Google Cloud infrastructure resources used by the deployment, such as the Compute Engine instance, persistent disks, network traffic, and any load-balancing services.

After the trial, CloudBeaver charges are billed through Google Cloud Marketplace according to the selected Marketplace pricing plan. You do not need to purchase or configure a separate CloudBeaver license.

Learn more about license types.

Deployment

CloudBeaver GCP is distributed as a Google Cloud Marketplace image for Google Compute Engine.

1. Open the CloudBeaver GCP listing in Google Cloud Marketplace and start the deployment.

2. Select your Google Cloud project, region, zone, and machine configuration.

3. Configure the firewall rules and network tags for the instance:

   • Allow inbound TCP port 80 for initial HTTP access.
   • Allow inbound TCP port 443 only after you configure HTTPS with a valid certificate.
   • Do not expose CloudBeaver port 8978 publicly when it is behind the web proxy.
   • Restrict source IP ranges where possible.

4. Create the instance and open http://<external-ip>/ in a browser, where <external-ip> is the external IP address of the instance.

For production deployments, configure a DNS name, a TLS certificate, and a reverse proxy on the instance or a Google Cloud HTTPS Load Balancer. After configuring HTTPS, use https://<your-domain>/ to access CloudBeaver.

Initial setup

After the instance starts, open http://<external-ip>/ in a browser, where <external-ip> is the external IP address of the Google Cloud instance. CloudBeaver opens the initial configuration wizard, which guides you through the server setup.

For more information on initial configuration, see Server configuration wizard.

Updates

CloudBeaver GCP runs as a Docker Compose cluster on your Google Cloud instance. To update it manually, connect to your instance through the Google Cloud Console or SSH, and pull the desired Docker image.

Important: CloudBeaver GCP uses Docker Compose to manage containers and volumes. Use Docker Compose for all update operations.

Refer to the following documentation for additional guidance:

• CloudBeaver GCP images and tags on Docker Hub
• Connect to a Linux VM by using SSH
• Docker Compose documentation
