Rails Development in a Fedora Container

rails-fedora-dev-container.md

To install Ruby on Rails, you will need some system dependencies, and then install the Rails gem:

dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"

dnf install zlib-devel ruby-devel

gem install rails

To create a Rails blog, you will need some dependencies, and then use Rails to create a new blog:

dnf install sqlite-devel nodejs

npm install --global yarn

rails new blog

To run the server from a development container, the container should publish port 3000, and the Rails server should bind to 0.0.0.0:

docker run -d \
    --name my-rails-app-1 \
    --publish 3000:3000 \
    devbox sleep infinity

...

docker exec -it \
    --workdir /home/app/blog \
    devbox bin/rails server -b 0.0.0.0
