Setting up and running the app

Directly on your Host

This is NOT recommended. This application is fully dockerized, and therefore the Docker approach (see below) is preferred.

You will need the following Pre-Requisites:

1. Ruby 2.6.X or higher
2. Rails 6.1.3
3. PostgresSQL

Follow the standard approach for installing a Rails application using bundle install, rails db:create, rails db:migrate.

Finally start your Rails server with rails s

Using Docker

You will need the following Pre-Requisites:

1. Docker Desktop

All you need to do is run docker compose up, which will automatically download all dependencies, start all necessary services, and setup the whole project for you (might take a couple of minutes).

Alternatively if you want to attach and have TTY on the main (Puma) HTTP server, you can run docker compose run --service-ports web, where web is the main Rails server service.

To log into the Rails console, you can always do docker compose run web rails c, or to do other commands (such as rake tasks) inside the container simply do docker compose run web bash.
