Firebird 2.5.8 Classic Docker Image

To be used only for archeological purposes, and not to be considered secure in any way. Based on phusion/baseimage because I need something closer to a full init environment to make sure this works easily. Working is the goal, slimness is not.

Environment Variables

  • ISC_PASSWORD is required if you do not provide your own security2.fdb, and will be used to set the sysdba password on startup and create security2.fdb.
  • LIMIT_HOST_ACCESS_TO_VOLUME=true Set to "false" to allow container to run chmod and chown on data in /firebird. This is not a security feature; it is just to prevent the container messing with your files in a way that you don't want.

Persistent Storage

This image stores persistent data in /firebird. Databases (including security2.fdb) go in "/firebird/data", and logs go in "/firebird/log".

  • If these directories do not exist on container startup, they will be created.
  • Their permissions will always be reset on container startup to ensure firebird can read and write to them. TODO: add flag to disable?

Aliases

Aliases for all .fdb files /firebird/data are created automatically. For example, /firebird/data/mydb.fdb can be accessed at its full path, or as "mydb.fdb" or just "mydb".

Healthcheck

Healthcheck based on https://github.com/jacobalberty/firebird-docker. Configure a username, password, and database to check by exporting the following environment variables in /firebird/etc/docker-healthcheck.conf:

  • HC_USER
  • HC_PASS
  • HC_DB

Other Notes

Based on jacobalberty/firebird-docker and betonetotbo/docker-firebird-cs
