First Time Installation Steps

Build the docker container after cloning/downloading the repo

docker-compose build web

Also we might be constantly adding new gems. So, it will be good if you ran the above command each time you pull.

To ensure dependencies are up-to-date periodically run the following two commands:

docker-compose run web bundle install
docker-compose run web yarn install

The above two sections will ensure that the container is up-to-date.

To create the development and test databases first start up the database container:

docker-compose up --detach db

Then verify that the container is running:

docker-compose ps

The output should look something like this:

      Name                    Command              State    Ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------
hackoverflow_db_1   docker-entrypoint.sh postgres   Up      5432/tcp

Run the following to create the database:

docker-compose run web rails db:create

Start up the containers:

docker-compose up

Then verify that the containers are running:

docker-compose ps

The app should be running at http://localhost:3000

Now, the schemas for Databases are constantly changing. So, run this command to get the latest ones.

docker-compose run web rails db:migrate

Commands to run after new pull

Run these commands to ensure you are up-to-date with our dev environments

docker-compose build web
docker-compose run web bundle install
docker-compose run web yarn install
docker-compose run web rails db:migrate

Then start the container and check the website at http://localhost:3000
