Supported Volumes

To make it easy to run Flyway the way you want to, the following volumes are supported:

Volume	Usage
/flyway/conf	Directory containing a flyway.conf configuration file
/flyway/drivers	Directory containing the JDBC driver for your database
/flyway/sql	The SQL files that you want Flyway to use (for SQL-based migrations)
/flyway/jars	The jars files that you want Flyway to use (for Java-based migrations)

Flyway Edition

You can switch between the various Flyway editions by setting the FLYWAY_EDITION environment variable to any of the following values:

Value	Description
community	Select the Flyway Community Edition (default)
trial	Select the Flyway Trial Edition
pro	Select the Flyway Pro Edition
enterprise	Select the Flyway Enterprise Edition

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is simply to test the image by running

docker run --rm boxfuse/flyway

This will give you Flyway Command-line's usage instructions.

To do anything useful however, you must pass the arguments that you need to the image. For example:

docker run --rm boxfuse/flyway -url=jdbc:h2:mem:test -user=sa info

Adding SQL files

To add your own SQL files, place them in a directory and mount it as the flyway/sql volume.

Example

Create a new directory and add a file named V1__Initial.sql with following contents:

CREATE TABLE MyTable (
    MyColumn VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);

Now run the image with the volume mapped:

docker run --rm -v /my/sqldir:/flyway/sql boxfuse/flyway -url=jdbc:h2:mem:test -user=sa migrate

Adding a config file

If you prefer to store those arguments in a config file you can also do so using the flyway/conf volume.

Example

Create a file named flyway.conf with the following contents:

flyway.url=jdbc:h2:mem:test
flyway.user=sa

Now run the image with that volume mapped as well:

docker run --rm -v /my/sqldir:/flyway/sql -v /my/confdir:/flyway/conf boxfuse/flyway migrate

Adding a JDBC driver

Flyway ships by default with drivers for

• Aurora MySQL
• Aurora PostgreSQL
• Derby
• H2
• HSQLDB
• MariaDB
• MySQL
• Percona XtraDB Cluster
• PostgreSQL
• SQL Server
• SQLite
• Sybase ASE

If your database is not in this list, or if you want to ship a different or newer driver than the one included you can do so using the flyway/drivers volume.

Example

Create a directory and drop for example the Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc8.jar) in there.

You can now let Flyway make use of it my mapping that volume as well:

docker run --rm -v /my/sqldir:/flyway/sql -v /my/confdir:/flyway/conf -v /my/driverdir:/flyway/drivers boxfuse/flyway migrate

Adding Java-based migrations and callbacks

To pass in Java-based migrations and callbacks you can use the flyway/jars volume.

Example

Create a directory and drop for a jar with your Java-based migrations in there.

You can now let Flyway make use of it my mapping that volume as well:

docker run --rm -v /my/sqldir:/flyway/sql -v /my/confdir:/flyway/conf -v /my/jardir:/flyway/jars boxfuse/flyway migrate

Docker Compose

To run both Flyway and the database that will be migrated in containers, you can use a docker-compose.yml file that starts and links both containers.

Example

version: '3'
services:
  flyway:
    image: boxfuse/flyway:5.2.1
    command: -url=jdbc:mysql://db -schemas=myschema -user=root -password=P@ssw0rd -connectRetries=60 migrate
    volumes:
      - .:/flyway/sql
    depends_on:
      - db
  db:
    image: mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=P@ssw0rd
    command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    ports:
      - 3306:3306

Run docker-compose up, this will start both Flyway and MySQL. Flyway will automatically wait for up to one minute for MySQL to be initialized before it begins to migrate the database.
