DBeaver is a desktop client. If you are looking for a web-based database management tool - check our new product: CloudBeaver. It is based on DBeaver platform and thus supports any database and most of DBeaver features. In this blog post, I’ll discuss how to install DBeaver Database Tool on Ubuntu 18.04 / Ubuntu 16.04 & Debian 10/9. DBeaver CE is a free and open source multi-platform database management tool/SQL client designed for Developers, SQL programmers, Analysts, and Database administrators.

I started using DBeaver because it is one of the very few UI clients that can support Cassandra. Now, I am using it to connect to MySql too. Highly recommended if you are a Cassandra or rdbms user.
This is my notes about how to use DBeaver to connect to my local mysql docker container. Hope this can save you some times... this took me an hour to make it work :(
Step 1: download, install and run mysql docker image

Dbeaver Mysql Driver

Dbeaver(hey, install docker first!)
> docker run -p 3306:3306 --name=local-mysql -d mysql/mysql-server:8.0
Step 2: initialize mysql container
> docker log local-mysql
Grep the temporary password from the screen. For example, it is DJKSDBFHD
Step 3: run the mysql client inside the container to connect to the mysql server inside the container.
Note: use the password grepped from previous step
>docker exec -it local-mysql8 mysql -uroot -pDJKSDBFHD
Step 4: modify the root user's password
> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Step 5: create a database and its user for Dbeaver to connect
> create database Project1
> create user 'test'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON project1.* TO 'test'@'%';
Step 6: start DBeaver. new a mysql 8 connection. Modify these two jdbc properties..
allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true
useSSL=false
Step 7: On the DBeaver connection window, enter uid: 'test', password='password' to connect to the mysql inside the docker container.
You are all set :)
