Startup kit for a new Ruby on Rails project

How to use it

1. Clone this repositoty

    $ git clone git@github.com:sshkarupa/rails-startup-kit.git
   

2. Rename the rails-startup-kit in your project's name (for example, in cool_project)

    $ mv rails-startup-kit cool_project
   

3. Change the default project's name in these files:

     - devops/base/dockerfile
     - devops/dev/dockerfile
     - devops/dev/docker-compose.yml
     - devops/prod/dockerfile
     - Makefile
   

   You need to change the project's name from my_app to cool_project and the namespace for docker images (DOCKER_NAMESPACE in Makefile) from sshkarupa to what-ever-you-want.

4. Go to your project's folder and remove the old .git folder

    $ cd cool_project && rm -rf .git
   

5. Rename devops/dev/.sample.env to devops/dev/.env

    cool_project$ mv devops/dev/{.sample.env,.env}
   

6. Build the base docker image:

    cool_project$ make build:base
   

7. Build the development docker image:

    coool_project$ make build:dev
   

8. Run a docker container and generate a new rails application

    cool_project$ make run
   
    /usr/src/cool_project# rails new . --skip-coffee --skip-turbolinks --skip-sprockets --webpack --database=postgresql -T -f
    /usr/src/cool_project# exit
   

9. Change owners for all folders and file which were generated inside the container (you will need to type your sudo password):

    cool_project$ make owner
   

10. Change your config/database.yml (default block) something like this:

    default: &default
      adapter: postgresql
      encoding: unicode
      host: <%= ENV.fetch('DATABASE_HOST', 'db')%>
      username: <%= ENV.fetch('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'postgres')%>
      password:  <%= ENV.fetch('DATABASE_PASSWORD', '')%>

11. Create databases:

    cool_project$ make rake db:create
    

12. Run rails server:

    cool_project$ make start
    

You're all set!
