Hello cool devs, how can I deploy prisma locally

Have docker installed on your machine. If you're already working in the cloud you'll want to install prisma globally and then run

prisma init

on an empty directory (select "Create new Database" and MySQL), that should give you a file called docker-compose.yml that looks like this:

version: '3'
services:
  prisma:
    image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.8
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "4466:4466"
    environment:
      PRISMA_CONFIG: |
        port: 4466
        # uncomment the next line and provide the env var PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET=my-secret to activate cluster security
        # managementApiSecret: my-secret
        databases:
          default:
            connector: mysql
            host: mysql
            port: 3306
            user: root
            password: prisma
            migrations: true
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: prisma
    volumes:
      - mysql:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  mysql:

A good place to put that file in your server project is under the directory

./database

if that's what you've got. Make sure you have a .env file that looks something like this:

PRISMA_STAGE="dev"
PRISMA_ENDPOINT="<http://self:4466/server/dev>"
PRISMA_CLUSTER="local"
PRISMA_SECRET="SOME_PRISMA_SECRET"
APP_SECRET="SOME_APP_SECRET"
PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET="SOME_PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET"

Then bring the server up with

docker-compose -f ./database/docker-compose.yml up -d

(-f names the file, up brings it "up", and -d puts it in the background). Actually perhaps take a look at my personal project's Readme, I basically wrote notes to myself on .env: https://github.com/TiE23/metric-teacher/tree/master/server

Thanks a lot 🙏
