Prisma binaries for amd64 and arm64 Alpine Docker images, because prisma does not provide working ones.

Prisma Binaries

Prisma Binaries for arm64 and amd64 architectures, that use Alpine Docker images.

Why?

Prisma does not provide binaries that work for these architectures on Alpine linux, therefore we have to build our own! How fun.

Building

You can't build these images using docker buildx's --platform linux/arm64,linux/amd64 for some reason, it fails compiling, and will take a very long time to build due to it emulating the arm64, or amd64 architecture. So we have to build them separately, on seperate machines, which we will combine into a multi-arch image.

docker build -t prisma-binaries:{version}-{amd64/arm64} --build-arg PRISMA_VERSION={version} .
# Example
docker build -t prisma-binaries:4.9.x-amd64 --build-arg PRISMA_VERSION=4.9.0 . # on amd64 machine
docker build -t prisma-binaries:4.9.x-arm64 --build-arg PRISMA_VERSION=4.9.0 . # on arm64 machine

Combining images

Retrieve each image somehow, so they are on one machine then follow the steps below.

docker manifest create prisma-binaries:{version} --amend prisma-binaries:{version}-amd64 --amend prisma-binaries:{version}-arm64
docker manifest push prisma-binaries:{version}

Example:

docker manifest create prisma-binaries:4.9.x --amend prisma-binaries:4.9.x-amd64 --amend prisma-binaries:4.9.x-arm64
docker manifest push prisma-binaries:4.9.x

You do not need to push if you will be using the image locally.

Using

You can use this image in your Dockerfile like so:

FROM prisma-binaries:4.9.x as prisma

# In stages that require prisma binaries copy them over.
COPY --from=prisma /prisma-engines /prisma-engines
ENV PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_BINARY=/prisma-engines/query-engine \
  PRISMA_MIGRATION_ENGINE_BINARY=/prisma-engines/migration-engine \
  PRISMA_INTROSPECTION_ENGINE_BINARY=/prisma-engines/introspection-engine \
  PRISMA_FMT_BINARY=/prisma-engines/prisma-fmt \
  PRISMA_CLI_QUERY_ENGINE_TYPE=binary \
  PRISMA_CLIENT_ENGINE_TYPE=binary
