docker_debian_rails

Docker file for Ruby on Rails based on Debian.

Including support for imagemagick and vips. Postgres or mysql libs are installed as well.

Using it for your rails application

Put this docker file in your rails root directory (or modify it to your needs):

# rails_root_dir/Docker

FROM toxix/debian-rails
# For including develop tools like phantomjs use
#FROM toxix/debian-rails:dev

# Define working directory.
WORKDIR /app

ADD Gemfile /app/
ADD Gemfile.lock /app/

ENV GEM_HOME /gems/
# todo: move bundle install into an startup script. This is usefull because gems can be in a seperate docker volume and change at runtime
RUN bundle install

ADD . /app

VOLUME ["/gems", "/app"]

# Define default command.
CMD /start_rails.sh

# Expose ports.
EXPOSE 8080

Compile yor docker image with docker build [rails_root_directory] where '[rails_root_directory]' is the path to your rails root directory. Run your fresh image with docker and have fun.

If you consider to use PhantomJs, check out the dev-branch.
