**cli-migrations** image
------------------------
Hasura ships a special Docker image which can be used to
automatically apply migrations/metadata when the server starts:
.. code-block:: bash
hasura/graphql-engine:<version>.cli-migrations-v2
This container image includes the Hasura CLI at ``/bin/hasura-cli`` and can be
used for running any other CI/CD scripts in your workflow.
.. note::
For ``config v1``, see :ref:`auto_apply_migrations_v1`.
Applying migrations
-------------------
The ``migrations`` and ``metadata`` directories created by the Hasura CLI in a
Hasura project can be mounted at the ``/hasura-migrations`` and ``/hasura-metadata``
path of this Docker container and the container's entry point script will apply the
migrations and metadata before starting the server. If no directory is mounted at
the designated paths, the server will start ignoring the migrations and/or metadata.
If you want to mount the migrations/metadata directories at some location other
than the above, set the following environment variables:
.. code-block:: bash
HASURA_GRAPHQL_MIGRATIONS_DIR=/custom-path-for-migrations
HASURA_GRAPHQL_METADATA_DIR=/custom-path-for-metadata
Once the migrations and metadata are applied, the container resumes operation as
a normal Hasura GraphQL engine server.
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
# Start Hasura after applying the migrations and metadata present in the Hasura project
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
-v /home/me/my-project/migrations:/hasura-migrations \
-v /home/me/my-project/metadata:/hasura-metadata \
-e HASURA_GRAPHQL_DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:@postgres:5432/postgres \
hasura/graphql-engine:v1.2.0.cli-migrations-v2
.. _auto_apply_metadata:
Applying only metadata
----------------------
If you're managing migrations with a different tool and want to use this image
to apply only the metadata, mount the ``metadata`` directory of your Hasura project
at the ``/hasura-metadata`` path of this Docker container the containers entry point
script will apply the metadata before starting the server.
