Typical Rails + Docker Desktop Setup

Dockerfile

FROM ruby:2.5-alpine

RUN apk add --update \
	    bash \
            build-base \
            nodejs  \
            postgresql-dev \
            postgresql-client \
            libxml2-dev \
            libxslt-dev \
            tzdata \
            && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

# Build variables you can override at runtime
ARG app_name=my-awesome-application
ARG port=3000

# Map Build variables to Environment
ENV app_name $app_name
ENV port $port

RUN mkdir /$app_name
WORKDIR /$app_name
COPY Gemfile /$app_name/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /$app_name/Gemfile.lock
# optional if no nokogiri
# RUN bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
RUN bundle install
COPY . /$app_name

# Add a script to be executed every time the container starts.
COPY entrypoint.sh /usr/bin/
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["entrypoint.sh"]

EXPOSE $port

# Start the main process.
CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]

Guard section assumes specs running via rspec-guard. You can eliminate if not needed. If used you can attach with

docker attach network-name_guard_1 <- network-name is usually = to your folder name

And detach without stopping the container with CNTRL+p+q Google docker commands for more information

Also if you use binding.pry or binding.irb in your webapp code, you can attach similarly to your web application and interact with it.

Optional:

• redis
• sidekiq
• pgadmin
• guard

would be started with
docker-compose build omit build if images are already made
docker-compose up -d -d daemonizes the images
