Setting up Rails for the first time with all the dependencies necessary can be daunting for beginners. Docked Rails attempts to flatten the onboarding curve by only requiring a working Docker installation in order to get started making a new Rails application, working with that application during development, and running a basic server. All based on pre-configured commands and dependencies living in a Docker image.

Getting started is as easy as:

docker volume create ruby-bundle-cache
alias rails='docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/rails -v ruby-bundle-cache:/bundle dhh37/rails'
alias rails-server='docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/rails -v ruby-bundle-cache:/bundle -p 3000:3000 dhh37/rails server -b 0.0.0.0'
