Subscription and licensing

CloudBeaver AWS is available for subscription through the AWS Marketplace. The subscription price depends on the instance size you choose. A bigger instance allows more users to work with the application at the same time.

You get a one-month free trial with access to all CloudBeaver features. After the trial, billing is managed based on the AWS pricing plan for the chosen instance size. You don’t need an extra license, as everything is handled through the AWS Marketplace subscription.

Info

In rare cases, CloudBeaver AWS may request a license if access to the EC2 metadata service is restricted. This is often due to enforced IMDSv2 policies by AWS. Since CloudBeaver runs inside a Docker container with a different network interface, it might be unable to communicate with the EC2 instance metadata. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for guidance on resolving this issue.

Initial setup

After subscribing, navigate to http://<EC2_IP>/ in your browser, where <EC2_IP> is the public IP of your EC2 instance. This will open the initial CloudBeaver configuration wizard, which guides you through the setup process.

Info

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

Specify Agreement ID during the initial configuration or after completing the wizard in Settings -> Administration -> AWS Settings -> Marketplace Configuration. The Agreement ID is required for Domain Manager functionality and for validating your Marketplace subscription in support cases.

Tip

If you need assistance on how to find your Agreement ID, refer to the official AWS documentation.

CloudBeaver AWS updates

CloudBeaver AWS runs as a Docker Compose cluster on your EC2 instance. To update it manually, connect to your EC2 instance via SSH or the instance console, and pull the desired Docker image.

Important

CloudBeaver AWS uses Docker Compose to manage containers and volumes. Use Docker Compose for all update operations.

Refer to the following documentation for additional guidance:

• CloudBeaver AWS images and tags on Docker Hub
• AWS EC2: Connecting via SSH
• AWS key pairs
• Docker compose documentation

Support

For technical support with CloudBeaver AWS, submit a ticket through the DBeaver customer portal on dbeaver.com.

An administrator can click the Tech Support button in the CloudBeaver interface. This opens the ticket creation page in the DBeaver customer portal.

In the ticket form:

1. Select Technical support as the ticket type
2. The License field will be populated automatically with your Agreement ID
3. Describe the issue and submit the request.

Alternatively, log into your account on the DBeaver website, navigate to Profile -> Tickets, and create a new support ticket manually. If creating the ticket manually, make sure the Agreement ID is specified in the License field.

Tip

If you need assistance on how to find your Agreement ID, refer to the official AWS documentation.

Troubleshooting

CloudBeaver AWS installations from the AWS Marketplace may prompt for a license due to issues with EC2 metadata service availability. This can happen when AWS policies enforce the use of IMDSv2 and restrict access to IMDSv1.

Since CloudBeaver runs inside a Docker container, it operates with a different IP address, which prevents it from connecting to the EC2 metadata service using IMDSv2. As a result, CloudBeaver cannot verify that it was launched through a Marketplace installation.

Solution: To resolve this, ensure your Docker container is run with the --network host option, which allows CloudBeaver to access the EC2 metadata service by sharing the host's IP address.
