Altium database migration tool

The Altium database migration tool is a Spring boot application that helps handle changes from Git component repository to local database for offline development or any other hosted Postgres database by data source.

How it works

1. User run docker command, then if application image is not in local storage it will be downloaded from public docker hub
2. The container will start with user provided DB connection or default for local development
3. After the start, application will fetch from repository migration scripts(database sql dump)
4. Then liquibase migration tool will check database state and update it if needed
5. Application can be run as many times as needed, it won't overwrite data or duplicate them.

How to use it

1. First, download and install Docker here: Download Docker Desktop for Windows
2. After Docker has been installed, check it with: docker ps in command prompt
3. Then need to signup/sign-in for Docker hub. Open Docker desktop and then Sign in:

4. Check login with command: docker login

5. Now when Docker has configured. Need to install PostgresDB for local environment

   • First option. Run Database in container see here
     • Run in command line: docker pull postgres, it will pull the latest Postgres image
     • Run Database image:

       docker run -d -p 5432:5432\
       --name dev-postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_DB=altium-components \
       postgres
     

   • Second option. Download and install Postgres for local development here -> Download the installer
     • Download and install PgAdmin tool from here
     • Create empty Database:
       • 
     • In Database field write: altium-components -> Save
     • Check that empty database has been created:
       • 

6. Optionally: Create DB schema, or altium will be created as default schema. It will be used for all migrations

7. When all has been configured and empty Database created. Then run application

Local development

docker run -p 5432:5432 -e PROFILE=docker-dev ximtech/altium-migrator

Custom Database Hosting

Note: For custom datasource do not change PROFILE variable

    docker run -p 5432:5432 \
    -e PROFILE=prod \
    -e ALTIUM_DB_DATASOURCE='jdbc:postgresql://host.docker.internal:5432/altium-components' \
    -e ALTIUM_DB_USERNAME='postgres' \
    -e ALTIUM_DB_PASSWORD='postgres' \
    -e LIQUIBASE_SCHEMA_NAME=altium \
    ximtech/altium-migrator:latest

7. At the end check that all data has been transferred:
