In just 5 minutes, you have your Rails app dockerized for local development

Hey there, I’m Pasha, and I used to have hated Docker for years! It was a long time ago. But you know what? Times change. Nowadays, I’m all about it and can’t even picture my workflow without Docker and its devtools environment. I’ve got it running locally, on CI, on staging, and production.

In just 5 minutes, you will be able to use it locally with your Rails application. Just use dip. Dip is the CLI and configuration framework that helps you manage Docker in development.

Wanna use dip with your application RIGHT NOW, use Ruby on Whales template. Run this command:

bundle exec rails app:template LOCATION='https://railsbytes.com/script/z5OsoB'

This template will configure your application to leverage dip. And if you’re looking for more details, dive into the Ruby on Whales article.
