When working in a team it can be useful to package graphile-migrate and the
Postgres tooling into a Docker file so that everyone has easy access to the same
versions. This is also helpful if you're using Migrate as part of a larger
non-Node based project.
For these purposes we provide an example Dockerfile in the
docs/docker directory in the source tree. This uses the latest released
version of graphile-migrate from npm and packages it together with the
necessary Node and Postgres tools. You can build the Dockerfile from the root of
the repository using a command like such as:
docker build -t graphile-migrate docs/docker \
--build-arg NODEJS_VERSION=14 --build-arg POSTGRES_VERSION=12To conveniently run Graphile Migrate within the container you can then use the
graphile-migrate wrapper script which passes the
standard Migrate environment variables through to the container.
