DBeaver is not yet available on PantherX but you can install it anyway, using Flatpak.

If you don’t have Flatpak, simply run:

Then install DBeaver:

Working with DBeaver you might find that you existing OpenSSH private key does not work with the application; ref. Here’s how-to rectify that:

  1. Open DBeaver
  2. Help > Install New Software
  3. Work with “All available sites”
  4. Filter by SSHJ; install the options
  5. Restart

Now simply select SSHJ in the connection window, and use your OpenSSH private key as usual.
