Skeleton docker/rails application for use with Pragmatic Studios Flix exercise
- (docker)[https://docs.docker.com/install/]
- (docker-compose)[https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/]
Create a file within your app's root directory named Dockerfile (no file extension, just "Dockerfile") Copy the following into your dockerfile and save.
FROM ruby:2.3.3
RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y build-essential libpq-dev nodejs
RUN mkdir /<your app name>
WORKDIR /{your app name>
COPY Gemfile /<your app name>/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /<your app name>/Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle install
COPY . /<your app name>From within ${your_app}/config, find and rename database.yml to old_database.yml Create a new file of the same name, in the same location. Save both files for now. Within your application's root directory, create a file named docker-compose.yml Copy the following into docker-compose.yml and save.
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres
web:
build: .
command: bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'
volumes:
- .:/<your app name>
ports:
- "3000:3000"
depends_on:
- dbOpen your new database.yml file, and, after replacing with your application's name in both locations, save it with the following contents:
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
host: db
username: postgres
password:
pool: 5
development:
<<: *default
database: <your app name>_development
test:
<<: *default
database: <your app name>_testFrom your command line, run
docker-compose up --buildAt this point you should see something similar to the following:
Starting rails_db_1 ...
Starting rails_db_1 ... done
Recreating rails_web_1 ...
Recreating rails_web_1 ... done
Attaching to rails_db_1, rails_web_1

db_1 | LOG: MultiXact member wraparound protections are now enabled
db_1 | LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
db_1 | LOG: autovacuum launcher started

web_1 | => Rails 5.0.0.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
web_1 | => Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
web_1 | Puma starting in single mode...

web_1 | * Listening on tcp://0.0.0.0:3000
web_1 | Use Ctrl-C to stop❗ In a separate terminal ❗ run:
docker-compose run web rails db:createYou should then see something like this:
Starting rails_db_1 ... done
Created database 'flix_development'
Created database 'flix_test'From here, stop your server. To do this, run:
docker-compose downfrom your original terminal. You can just
ctrl-cto exit, as usual, but this is known to cause the error:
web_1 | A server is already
running. Check /flix/tmp/pids/server.pid.when attempting to restart your server. If that's the case, just remove the aforementioned pid file and you're on your way.
docker-compose up
from within your project's root directory (i.e. make sure you can see your dockerfile when checking your directory) In another terminal, run
docker-compose run web rails db:create
At this point, you should be able to view your application in the browser, just as if you were running it without docker.
