I work at a bank and cannot use docker-compose to pull down images external to the bank (so no prisma, no postgres). I have an internal PostgreSQL image and have that working fine in docker, and I finally have everything else except the Prisma docker image running in Open Shift. But how to handle the Prisma docker image? Can I just create my own using the npm prisma and the config from the docker-compose file? What, exactly, does the Prisma docker do and why does it need to be in a docker image? Is that just a convenience, or am I missing something. TIA for any help!

It is convenience and ease of packaging from our end. If you need custom docker images you have the option to just use the toolchain yourself to create images. You’ll need scala and sbt installed. Checkout the sources, go to the

server

folder and set the env var

COMMIT_SHA

and

CLUSTER_VERSION

(can be “”) in your shell. The command

sbt docker

will build the images, but will download dependencies etc. (which may or may not work for you in the corp. network). Happy to assist you further if things don’t work out. PM me directly.

Outstanding! Thanks very much! That is a great help. How convenient that I'm a long-time Scala dev.
