Community 5.0: Create a custom image with Docker

Create a custom image with Docker

Last updated: July 16, 2026

If you cannot use the default Liquibase Docker container image, you can create a custom image. You can either extend an existing Dockerfile or create a completely new image.

Procedure

Download the latest Microsoft SQL Server driver, for example 12.2.0.

Start a Docker container.

docker run -it liquibase:4.33.0 sh

Do not exit out of this container. In a new terminal window, obtain the Container ID.

docker ps

Copy the Microsoft SQL Server 12.2.0 JAR file into the running container.

docker cp mssql-jdbc-12.2.0.jre11.jar <CONTAINER ID>:/liquibase/internal/lib

Create a new Docker image.

docker commit <CONTAINER ID> liquibase:4.33.0_w_mssql_12.2.0
