Official Liquibase Docker images

This is the official repository for Liquibase images.

BREAKING CHANGE

Support for Snowflake database has been moved from the external extension liquibase-snowflake into the main Liquibase artifact. This means that Snowflake is now included in the main docker image. If you are using the snowflake extension remove it from your lib directory or however you are including it in your project. If you are using the Docker image, use the main v4.12+ as there will no longer be a snowflake separate docker image produced. The latest separate Snowflake image will be v4.11. You need to update your reference to either latest to use the main one that includes Snowflake or the version tag you prefer. https://github.com/liquibase/liquibase/pull/2841

Changelog Files

The docker image has a /liquibase/changelog volume in which the directory containing the root of your changelog tree can be mounted. Your --changeLogFile argument should list paths relative to this.

The /liquibase/changelog volume can also be used for commands that write output, such as generateChangeLog. Note that in this case (where liquibase should write a new file) you need to specify the absolute path to the changelog, i.e. prefix the path with /liquibase/changelog/<PATH TO CHANGELOG FILE>.

Example

If you have a local c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources\com\example\changelogs\root.changelog.xml file, you would run docker run --rm -v c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --changeLogFile=changelog/com/example/changelogs/root.changelog.xml update

To generate a new changelog file at this location, run docker run --rm -v c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --changeLogFile=changelog/com/example/changelogs/root.changelog.xml generateChangeLog

Configuration File

If you would like to use a "default file" to specify arguments rather than passing them on the command line, include it in your changelog volume mount and reference it.

If specifying a custom liquibase.properties file, make sure you include classpath=/liquibase/changelog so Liquibase will continue to look for your changelog files there.

Example

If you have a local c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources\liquibase.properties file, you would run docker run --rm -v c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --defaultsFile=liquibase.properties update

Drivers and Extensions

The Liquibase docker container ships with drivers for many popular databases. If your driver is not included or if you have an extension, you can mount a local directory containing the jars to /liquibase/classpath and add the jars to your classpath setting.

Example

If you have a local c:\projects\my-project\lib\my-driver.jar file, docker run --rm -v c:\projects\my-project\src\main\resources:/liquibase/changelog -v c:\projects\my-project\lib:/liquibase/classpath liquibase/liquibase --classpath=/liquibase/changelog:/liquibase/classpath/my-driver.jar update

Notice for MySQL Users

Due to licensing restrictions for the MySQL driver, this container does not ship with the MySQL driver installed. Two options exist for loading this driver: 1. Create a new container from the liquibase/liquibase image. 2. Load this driver during runtime via an environment variable.

New Container Example

Dockerfile

FROM liquibase/liquibase

RUN lpm add mysql --global

Build

docker build . -t liquibase/liquibase-mysql

Runtime Example

docker run -e INSTALL_MYSQL=true liquibase/liquibase update

Complete Examples

Specify everything via arguments

docker run --rm -v <PATH TO CHANGELOG DIR>:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --url="jdbc:sqlserver://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:1433;database=<DATABASE>;" --changeLogFile=com/example/changelog.xml --username=<USERNAME> --password=<PASSWORD> --liquibaseProLicenseKey="<PASTE LB PRO LICENSE KEY HERE>" update

Using with Liquibase Pro Environment Variables example: docker run --env LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_USERNAME --env LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_PASSWORD --env LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_URL --env LIQUIBASE_PRO_LICENSE_KEY --env LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_CHANGELOG_FILE --rm -v <PATH TO CHANGELOG DIR>/changelogs:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --log-level=info update

Using a properties file

liquibase.docker.properties file:

classpath: /liquibase/changelog
url: jdbc:postgresql://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:5432/<DATABASE>?currentSchema=<SCHEMA NAME>
changeLogFile: changelog.xml
username: <USERNAME>
password: <PASSWORD>
liquibaseProLicenseKey=<PASTE LB PRO LICENSE KEY HERE> 

CLI: docker run --rm -v <PATH TO CHANGELOG DIR>:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --defaultsFile=liquibase.docker.properties update

or docker run --rm -v <PATH TO CHANGELOG DIR>:/liquibase/changelog liquibase/liquibase --defaultsFile=liquibase.docker.properties --changeLogFile=changelog.xml generateChangeLog (the argument --changeLogFile wins against the defaultsFile)

Example JDBC Urls:

• MS SQL Server: jdbc:sqlserver://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:1433;database=<DATABASE>
• PostgreSQL: jdbc:postgresql://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:5432/<DATABASE>?currentSchema=<SCHEMA NAME>
• MySQL: jdbc:mysql://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:3306/<DATABASE>
• MariaDB: jdbc:mariadb://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:3306/<DATABASE>
• DB2: jdbc:db2://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:50000/<DATABASE>
• Snowflake: jdbc:snowflake://<IP OR HOSTNAME>/?db=<DATABASE>&schema=<SCHEMA NAME>
• Sybase jdbc:jtds:sybase://<IP OR HOSTNAME>:/<DATABASE>
• SQLite: jdbc:sqlite:/tmp/<DB FILE NAME>.db

Note: If the database IP refers to a locally running docker container then one needs to specify host networking like docker run --network=host -rm -v ...
