Docker is required to easily set up the environment. Get Docker here
After Docker is installed, start the development server by running the following command:
docker-compose up
For the first time set up, also run
script/run rails db:setup
If you want everything to run in the background, you can use docker-compose up -d
In certain cases, if you update gems, you may need to rebuild the docker containers to install the new dependencies. This is easily done with:
script/rebuild
View in your browser at http://localhost:3000/
A breakdown of the various scripts:
script/run # Execute arbitrary commands in the web container. E.g.,
# script/run bin/rails runner 'puts BoardMember.count'
script/test # Run "rake" in the web container.
script/console # Run "rails console" in the web container.
script/cleanup # Remove the development containers.
script/rebuild # Rebuild the web container. Useful if it is missing new gems.
Make your change. Push to your fork and submit a pull request.
