I see there was a thread about dockerizing firebird back in 2014 on this
list but I don't see where anyone officially took up the task and there
clearly isn't a docker file in the git repository at this time. I have my
own dockerfiles I maintain for 2.5 (superserver and superclassic) and 3.0.
If there is interest I would like to adapt the 3.0 Dockerfile to be
included in the upstream repository and see it there.
I think to accomplish this it needs to be done in a couple steps, the first
step is input on my build process, should it be changed?
You can see what I have at https://github.com/jacobalberty/firebird-docker
. Most of the actual work is done in build.sh, I tried building entirely in
the Dockerfile and kept running into issues building 3.0, I believe it is
the parallel build changes causing issues with that and it ended up being
far easier to just use a shell script.
It is being built under a debian:jessie image, though there's no reason it
can't be changed to CentOS or anything else to be more in line with the
official builds.
