wmakley/firebird-2.5-cs repository overview

⁠Firebird 2.5.8 Classic Docker Image

⁠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 "docker run" to read all persistent data without "sudo". (Will run chmod o+r on databases and logs on startup and when copying data to the persistent volume.)

⁠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
