How to bootstrap the application

Installation

• Have either rvm or rbenv installed
• Install Ruby 2.1.x or 2.2.x
• brew install postgresql or download Postgres.app - Install Postgres, needed for bundling
• git clone https://github.com/coderie/coderie-site.git - Copy the repository down locally
• gem install bundler - Installs Bundler
• bundle install - Bundles up all dependencies, this may take a while
• bundle exec rake db:setup - Setup the database
• bundle exec rake db:seed - Seed with starter data
• bundle exec rails s - Serve the application
• bundle exec rake db:reset - If you want to reset and re-seed your db

Docker Installation

Requirements

• boot2docker installed
• docker-compose installed

Install Steps

• docker-compose build
• docker-compose up
• docker-compose run web rake db:create
• docker-compose run web rake db:migrate
• docker-compose run web rake

Working with Rails

Rails is now inside of the container so commands will look like:

docker-compose run web rails generate scaffold post

Bundled Dependencies

Dependencies are also built into the container. This means that the container could ship off to production (doesn't have to) in it's state and have the exact dependencies shipped with it. This creates a bit more work though. Instead of just bundle install after gem changes, you will need to run the following:

docker-compose build
