Overview Firebird SQL is a mature, open source, ANSI SQL relational database descended from InterBase. It offers excellent concurrency, stored procedures, triggers, and a small, low-overhead footprint that runs from embedded devices through to enterprise servers. This image delivers Firebird SQL fully installed and configured, so a working database server is running within minutes of launch. The current stable Firebird 5.x line is provided.
What Is Included The Firebird SQL database engine, installed from the official upstream distribution, running as the SuperServer engine variant. The isql interactive CLI shell, the gbak backup tool, the gfix maintenance tool, the gsec security manager and the gstat statistics tool are all on the path. The sample 'employee' database ships with Firebird and is preinstalled, ready for hands-on exploration.
Authentication Enabled By Default Firebird ships with native password authentication enabled out of the box. Database access requires a username and password; the default SYSDBA superuser is the gateway to creating roles, users and databases.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh, strong password for the SYSDBA superuser, unique to that instance, applies it to the database and writes it to a file that only the root user can read. No shared or default SYSDBA password ships in the image.
Data On Its Own Volume Firebird database files live on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume mounted at the Firebird data directory. The database tier is kept separate from the operating system disk so it can be grown, snapshotted and backed up on its own schedule.
Ready To Use The database engine, data directory and isql shell are all configured. Connect over SSH, read the generated SYSDBA password and open isql to create databases, tables and stored procedures. The Firebird wire protocol listens on TCP 3050 for client tools such as FlameRobin and DBeaver.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with Firebird SQL deployment, upgrades, performance tuning, replication configuration and database administration.
Use Cases Application backends that need a small, fast, ANSI SQL relational database. Embedded and edge deployments where footprint matters. Legacy InterBase migrations to a modern open source successor. Departmental and small to medium business databases.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Firebird SQL listens for client connections on 127.0.0.1 port 3050 on the instance itself. Retrieve the generated SYSDBA password with: sudo cat /root/firebird-credentials.txt. Open the isql shell with: /opt/firebird/bin/isql -user SYSDBA -password '<password>' 'inet://127.0.0.1/employee'. Use SHOW TABLES; inside isql to list the sample tables. The user guide explains how to create new databases, users and how to back up with gbak.
