tagged opening a remote SQLite file in DBeaver using sshfs#prevsinglenexttop
DBeaver is a database management program. SQLite is a database format which uses a single file (e.g., database.sqlite). You can open .sqlite files in DBeaver, but only on your local computer.
I wanted to open an .sqlite file on a remote server, without downloading it every time. I found out about sshfs ("SSH FileSystem") which mounts a remote filesystem on your local filesystem, so you can pretend the remote .mysql file is a file on your computer.
I set up sshfs like so:
sudo apt install sshfs
sudo mkdir -p /media/alifeee/remotefiles
sudo chown alifeee:alifeee /media/alifeee/remotefiles
sshfs server:/usr/alifeee/ /media/alifeee/remotefiles
Now /media/alifeee/remotefiles appears in my file browser just like any other drive I would plug into my computer. Neat. Who needs FTP… ;]
