dockerized-apache-rails-with-ssl: A Ruby repository from underscorenygren

####Docker + Apache + Ruby1.9 + SSL + Rails + Passenger

A started project to get rails running in a container with SSL using apache and passenger.

####Motivation

I wanted to quickly get up and running with a dockerized, SSL enabled apache and rails distribution

I was surprised I didn't come across this in my searching, so I decided to build it myself.

####Installation

I've got most of my info from here:

http://blog.miloot.com/blog/2013/10/25/how-to-setup-apache-with-passanger-plus-https-and-rails/

You'll need to build a Debian Wheezy dist of the dockerized http and call it httpd-wheezy, I haven't added it to the Docker hub. You can get it by cloning git@github.com:underscorenygren/httpd.git

Generate your SSH key using sudo sh ./gen_cert.sh and follow the instructions.
(inside of the cloned httpd distribution):
- docker build -t httpd-wheezy .
(Inside this directory once again)
docker-compose up -d
If you haven't done so already, add your docker ip to your /etc/hosts/
I'll assume local.development.com is your intended host. Note that this should probably line up with the values you put in your key generation.
- ie. sudo echo "192.168.99.100 local.development.com" >> /etc/hosts
Navigate to http://local.development.com
- You should see the rails landing page
Navigate to https://local.development.com
- You should get an SSL warning, which you click ignore on.
- You should see the rails landing page

The included rails files are a rails started project (rails new ...) with passenger and therubyracer installed (the latter to make V8 and rails-coffee work correctly - why it doesn't work out of the box is beyond me).

####Some Whys

Why Debian Wheezy? Because Jessie has dropped support for ruby 1.9.
Why Ruby 1.9?
- Because I needed it.
Why Passenger?
- Because, once again, I needed it.
Wouldn't this be better with X?
- Sure, feel free to submit a PR.
