Firebird

Firebird is fully supported by the Portabase agent. We use native gbak and isql tools to ensure consistent and reliable backups.

Configuration

 {
      "name": "Database - Firebird",
      "database": "/var/lib/firebird/data/mirror.fdb",
      "type": "firebird",
      "username": "alice",
      "password": "fake_password",
      "port": 3050,
      "host": "db-firebird",
      "generated_id": "..."
    }

Docker Compose Example

Here is how to configure a Firebird service alongside the agent.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  db-firebird:
    image: firebirdsql/firebird
    container_name: db-firebird
    restart: always
    environment:
      - FIREBIRD_ROOT_PASSWORD=fake_root_password
      - FIREBIRD_USER=alice
      - FIREBIRD_PASSWORD=fake_password
      - FIREBIRD_DATABASE=mirror.fdb
      - FIREBIRD_DATABASE_DEFAULT_CHARSET=UTF8
    volumes:
      - firebird-data:/var/lib/firebird/data
    ports:
      - "3060:3050"
    networks:
      - portabase

  agent:
    image: portabase/agent:latest
    # ... agent configuration ...
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    networks:
      - portabase

networks:
  portabase:
    external: true

volumes:
  firebird-data:

If you use localhost as the host (because the agent is on the host machine and not in Docker, or via host-gateway), ensure your database is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0) or is accessible from the agent.
