Flywaydb PostgreSQL Golang boilerplate

Use Flyway(https://github.com/flyway/flyway) database schema migration tool with any Golang project.

This repo uses PostgreSQL but can be used for any SQL database that flyway supports

Read more about versioning SQL files https://flywaydb.org/documentation/concepts/migrations.html#naming

Add database schema files

Add your .sql files in ./sql Use the samvar version in the filename example: V1.1__anyname.sql V1.2__secondfile.sql

Running flyway in a local development environment

You need a local installation of Golang and Docker.

Create .env from example.env

Run docker containers, this will create a local PostgreSQL (you can update docker-compose.yaml to use any database) docker container and another docker container will run flyway migration to Postgres. There is a container for PgAdmin(UI tool for Postgres) URL http://localhost:8080/browser/

docker-compose up -d

Check migration status docker logs flyway

If migration is successful then it's ready to work with Golang local installation.

Run migration after changes are made in the SQL file.

docker run --rm --network flyway-postgres-golang_flynet -v $PWD/sql:/flyway/sql flyway/flyway -url=jdbc:postgresql://$POSTGRES_HOST:$POSTGRES_PORT/$POSTGRES_DB -user=$POSTGRES_USER -password=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD -connectRetries=60 migrate

Delete everything in the database and migrate fresh

docker run --rm --network flyway-postgres-golang_flynet -v $PWD/sql:/flyway/sql flyway/flyway -url=jdbc:postgresql://$POSTGRES_HOST:$POSTGRES_PORT/$POSTGRES_DB -user=$POSTGRES_USER -password=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD -connectRetries=60 clean migrate

Running flyway in the production environment

For production, Use Dockerfile. Set ENV var to production in .env

In production database migration will be executed from Golang. Note that during CI/CD process database may not be accessible but once docker image is built and deploy to Kubernetes pods or any other environment database will be accessible for migration.

In ./flyway/flyway.go flyway migration-related functions are added. Migration is triggered from the main.go file. Docker image flyway/flyway:8-alpine will run Golang binary and database migration.

Run flyway using Dockerfile only

Create a .env file like example.env

docker build -t flywayk8 . docker run flywayk8:latest

Create project with gonew

Install gonew if not installed already go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gonew@latest

create a new project with gonew with your project name gonew github.com/ashraful88/flyway-postgres-golang example.com/yourproject
