PGMig

Standalone PostgreSQL Migration Runner using Migratus runnable as a native-image binary.

Changelog

There are BREAKING changes since release 0.4.0 changing most environment variables and some command line options to match psql.

See Changelog for upgrade path hints.

Installation

Github Releases

There are prebuild binaries that you can download from Github Releases.

Docker Image Releases

The latest PGMig build can be pulled from the dockerhub.

Installing From Sources

Follow the build instructions below and place the resulting binary in your path, e.g. to /usr/local/bin.

Building PGMig

Build uberjar

lein with-profile native do clean, test, uberjar

Build Linux binary to be run locally

If you have already GraalVM CE installed and properly set GRAAL_HOME, JAVA_HOME and PATH you can try to build and run the native image locally. You need Graal 21.2 release with native-image to build and deploy pgmig successfully.

From the project directory create the uberjar and run the create-image.sh helper script.

lein with-profile native do clean, test, uberjar
./create-image.sh target/uberjar/pgmig.jar

You can use both pgmig command line options or environment variables when running it (command line options have the priority).

./pgmig -h localhost -p 5432 -d pgmig -U pgmig -P pgmig -r samples/db/migrations pending

Status code 0 is returned on success, non-zero return code signals an error.

Note that you need the same .so libraries that the native binary is linked to on the target machine. Also keep in mind that you might need to add -Djava.library.path=<path-to-shared-libs> as a pgmig option if it needs to load some libraries dynamically (including shared libraries from the JDK itself). When building the docker image the .so library addition is done automatically.

Build docker image

The docker image is based on the GraalVM Community Edition Official Image. Once you have successfully built the uberjar you can create the migration runner image itself

lein with-profile native do clean, test, uberjar
docker build -t leafclick/pgmig .

Usage

PGMig supports following commands:

FunctionDescription
initRuns a script to initialize the database, e.g: create a new schema.
listList migrations already applied.
pendingList all pending migrations.
migrateRun 'up' for any migrations that have not been run.
upRun 'up' for the specified migration ids. Will skip any migration that is already up.
downRun 'down' for the specified migration ids. Will skip any migration that is already down.
resetRun 'down' all migrations and run 'up' all migrations again.
createCreate a new migration using the given name with the current date and time.

The following options skip all other actions:

FunctionDescription
--helpPrint the usage summary.
--versionPrint the current 'pgmig' version.

Run the native image directly

For example to apply all pending migrations run the migrate command

pgmig -h localhost -p 5432 -d pgmig -U pgmig -P pgmig -r samples/db/migrations --classpath samples/db/clj migrate

Note that if you use clj programmatic migrations (using sci) you need to list all directories that contain migration support code files (if there are any). You can usually create a classpath list by running lein classpath or clj -Spath in the project.

Run uberjar with java

To try out the basic functionality you can run the uberjar itself. To get help and available commands run

java -jar target/uberjar/pgmig.jar 

To list pending migrations (uberjar)

java -jar target/uberjar/pgmig.jar -h localhost -p 5432 -d pgmig -U pgmig -P pgmig -r samples/db/migrations pending

Run Linux binary within docker container

To run the native image within the docker container set the environment, bind the migrations directory and specify the action

docker run -ti \
           --rm \
           --mount "type=bind,src=$PWD/samples/db/migrations,dst=/migrations" \
           --mount "type=bind,src=$PWD/samples/db/clj,dst=/clj" \
           -e PGHOST=172.17.0.2 \
           -e PGDATABASE=pgmig \
           -e PGUSER=pgmig \
           -e PGPASSWORD=pgmig \
           -e RESOURCE_DIR=migrations \
           -e CLASSPATH=clj \
           leafclick/pgmig migrate
           

For now the expected output is something like this

20180830154000 first
20190216143455 second
20201106155531 programmatic-third

You can safely ignore warnings about unsupported features as they are not used by PGMig.

Limitations

There is a number of Graal's SubstrateVM LIMITATTIONS and they all apply to PGMig.

Because of this the only supported(*) JDBC driver is PostgreSQL JDBC DataSource which is bundled with PGMig binary.

(*) not all features are supported but the basics work well
