So I am trying to integrate my liquibase with an already existing docker image of Postgres. There are already images of `frontend` and `backend` in the `docker-compose.yml` file and I have my changelog scripts too but I am not sure how to proceed with integrating the `liquibase changelog` in the already existing `docker-changelog.yml`.  
Any cues on how to proceed?

This is my example **docker-compose.yml** file:

```auto
version: '3'
services:
    PostgreSQL:
        # service details
    Liquibase:
        # service details
    Backend:
        # service details
    Frontend:
        # service details

```

My `Postgres` changelog has database updation scripts and everything, I just don’t know how to proceed with adding those in the docker-compose file to run and create everything with the command:

```auto
docker-compose up -d

```

So I got a way to handle the `liquibase update` command. Here’s what I used as my Liquibase service, if it helps anyone:

```auto
Liquibase:
    # Image to be pulled from Docker Hub
    image: liquibase/liquibase:4.9.1
    # Name of the container
    container_name: Liquibase_container
    # Setting depends_on to PostgreSQL container to wait till the service is ready to accept connections
    depends_on:
      PostgreSQL:
        condition: service_healthy
    # Volume to add the liquibase collection of scripts
    volumes:
      - ./database/sql/liquibase/changeLog/:/liquibase/changelog/
    # Command to run the liquibase update service
    command: --defaults-file=/liquibase/changelog/liquibase.properties update

```

I moved my `changeLog` files to a volume inside the container named `liquibase/changelog` and then used the command to run `update`.
