       | I'm definitely going to try that out.

       | When trying to get a remote admin UI for SQLite databases I
       | always had trouble for one reason or another, cloudbeaver may be
       | a good alternative. I'm just a bit sad entity diagrams are not
       | part of the free edition.

       | What is the benefit of going from desktop application to web
       | browser? (DBeaver to CloudBeaver)

         | You can deploy the browser version with a Docker container in a
         | remote server. With that, instead of running the client in your
         | computer and connecting to the remote database, you can have
         | the client running as a service in your servers. Then you can
         | use all the DBeaver functionality (whatever they are providing
         | in the browser version) by just navigating to it (the desktop
         | application is quite heavy).
         | 
         | Apart from that, I guess that from a team's point of view, you
         | have better control of the database access than if you had to
         | whitelist IPs. Now you can have the same access control
         | policies in your database client than for any other service you
         | are running. Yes, you could do the same by using the native
         | database permissions systems, but it's just a use case I think
         | of.

       | This looks a lot nicer. I remember the DBeaver name but I've not
       | used it in a long time. I'll be using this instead of Adminer on
       | my next project to give it a whirl.
