docker-prisma-setup

To set up a local Docker Postgres and Redis environment for Prisma, the skill orchestrates Docker containers, generates the Prisma client, runs migrations, and executes the seed script automatically. It targets monorepo services containing a docker-compose.yml and prisma/schema.prisma.

Prisma migration failures during Docker Compose onboarding often stem from Docker daemon hangs or missing environment files. The skill resolves this by checking Docker health, restarting Docker Desktop if hung, and creating a .env with the correct DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL.

Installing monorepo dependencies with workspace protocols before running Prisma generate requires choosing the correct package manager. The skill detects and uses bun, pnpm, or npm to install dependencies from the monorepo root, handling workspace:* gotchas automatically.

Yes, you can use this to recover a corrupted local Postgres database for a TypeScript backend. The skill performs Docker health checks, restarts containers, applies Prisma migrations, and runs the seed script to restore the local development environment.

Yes, the Docker Prisma setup works with both bun and pnpm package managers. It automatically chooses the correct package manager to install dependencies from the monorepo root, specifically handling workspace protocol issues before running prisma generate and migrate dev.

To bootstrap a fresh development environment with Docker and Prisma, you need a service root containing docker-compose.yml and a prisma directory. The skill then brings up the required Postgres and Redis containers, wires the .env file, and executes the full database migration workflow.
