Example Disco Rails Site

This is an hello world project demonstrating Rails running on Disco.

The basic Rails project

The Rails project itself has been created with

rails new hello

Then, we added the controller app/controllers/welcome_controller.rb. And we added the route / in config/routes.rb.

Making it work on Disco

Fixing the generated Dockerfile

Running rails new hello created a Dockerfile. For some reason, trying to build an image using this file is broken. Maybe a Rails bug? In other words, running locally docker build -t example-rails-site . failed. To fix the issue, we added libyaml-dev to apt-get install. Search the Dockerfile for libyaml-dev to see where to add it.

Adding disco.json

See disco.json. It's just specifying the port 80, because the command at the end of the Dockerfile exposes the application on port 80.
