Allow connections via databases.conf #8

Open wolfgangreder opened 2 months ago

wolfgangreder commented 2 months ago

Currently it is required to build the connection url with the full file path. It would be nice to register databases in databases.conf

Could you elaborate a bit more?

What is your use case?

What problem would this intend to solve?

wolfgangreder commented 2 months ago
  1. I am forced to use a (container internal) path in the jdbc url: eg. jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost:3050//var/lib/firebird/data/test.fbd instead of jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost:3040/test.
  2. Per database configuration requires manipulation of database.conf.
  3. I think it would be generally wise to allow externalization of configuration (not only database.conf), log files and security database. This would allow easy backup and restore.

you can mount databases.conf (firebird.conf, udf libraries directories) as volumes eg. -v /path/to/databases.conf:/opt/firebird/databases.conf

Well, that should be possible. See https://github.com/jacobalberty/firebird-docker

So when you mount databases.conf as suggested you should be able to connect to databases as defined in the file instead of using full container path
