Example docker config for rails develompent

Readme.md

Rails dev environmnent:

First time

This will build the local Dockerfile:

docker-compose build

This will download images once, then install bundle dependencies:

docker-compose run app --rm bundle install 

Modify to suit whatever data initialization your rails project has.

docker-compose run app --rm bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed

Normal use

Get the rails app running on the background:

 docker-compose up -d

Enter rails console (within running container)

docker-compose exec -ti app bundle exec rails console

To run the test suite:

docker-compose exec -ti app bundle exec rake test   # rails 4
docker-compose exec -ti app bundle exec rails test  # rails 5

To inspect logs:

docker-compose logs -f

To restart just one container

docker-compose restart app

To stop (but not destroy) the cluster

docker-compose stop

To start (a stopped) cluster

docker-compose start

To destroy the cluster (usefull if config or state gets messed up)

docker-compose down

docker-compose.yml
