CloudBeaver is a web server (web-based) database management tool which provides a rich web interface. The Server itself is a Java application, while the web part is written on TypeScript and React. It is free to use and open-source. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install CloudBeaver on your Synology NAS using Docker.
This guide works perfectly with the latest CloudBeaver 24.0.1 release.

STEP 2
Install Container Manager via Synology “Package Center”. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.
STEP 3
Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it cloudbeaver. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 4
Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 5
Once you click on User-defined script, a new window will open. Follow the instructions below:
- General: In the Task field type in Install CloudBeaver. Uncheck the “Enabled” option. Select root User.
- Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
- Task Settings: Check “Send run details by email“, add your email then copy paste the code below in the Run command area. After that, click OK.
docker run -d --name=cloudbeaver \ -p 5495:8978 \ -v /volume1/docker/cloudbeaver:/opt/cloudbeaver/workspace \ --restart always \ dbeaver/cloudbeaver:latest
STEP 6
After you click OK on STEP 5 a new warning pop up window will open. Click OK.
After you click OK, type in your DSM Password then click Submit. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂
