A base setup to kickstart a rails app with postgres through docker. The app is not created already, rather this is a ready-to-go set of files to install a new rails app with docker. See the docker docs for coverage on how this is crafted: https://docs.docker.com/compose/rails/.

Run the following to create a new "app":

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kevin-k/rails-docker-init/v0.1.0-preview/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh app

With that you've pulled down this base setup, and ran the initialization process for a rails app with postgres!

Bring your app online with:

cd app
docker-compose up

There are plenty of ready-to-go base rails app repos with docker images out there, but as time goes on images become outdated. This tool is for those who want a bare docker rails installation, in a point-and-click manner.

This installer self-destructs, you are left with your own app in a new repo once complete.

• Postgres: 13
• Ruby: 2.7
• Rails: 6
