Docker

Germinator has a docker image, ghcr.io/launchcodedev/germinator. It runs the CLI by default as the entrypoint.

You should mount your seeds folder into the container, so it can read the YAML files within in.

See the CLI page for more options available.

Accessing Databases

Of course, Docker is isolated from your local environment. You'll likely need to forward network ports or sockets as necessary. --net=host might be the easiest way.

It's common to run germinator alongside your database in a docker-compose workspace. That way, hostnames are available to germinator.
