Rails 5 with Docker (Unable to create app) - ruby-on-rails

I'm getting started with docker and following official docker documentation.
When I execute docker-compose run command only a temp folder gets created and no other folder/file.
Dockerfile
FROM ruby:2.5
RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y nodejs postgresql-client
RUN mkdir /payment-api
WORKDIR /payment-api
COPY Gemfile /payment-api/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /payment-api/Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle install
COPY . /payment-api
# Add a script to be executed every time the container starts.
COPY entrypoint.sh /usr/bin/
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["entrypoint.sh"]
EXPOSE 3000
# Start the main process.
CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- ./tmp/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
web:
build: .
command: bash -c "rm -f tmp/pids/server.pid && bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'"
volumes:
- .:/myapp
ports:
- "3000:3000"
depends_on:
- db
Command I'm running to create the rails app
docker-compose run web rails new . --force --no-deps --database=postgresql
P.S: Not getting any sort of error and commands are executing normally but nothing except a temp folder gets created.

I know it's a bit late but I faced a similar issue running Docker toolbox on a Windows 10 Home Edition , along with VirtualBox . The key here is to allow "shared folder" access to VirtualBox . Navigate to VirtualBox -> Settings -> Shared Folders . Add your application path to "Shared Folders" . It should work fine now .
Hope this helps!

Unable to run "rails g" commands in docker cli

I am unable to run rails g commands in the docker CLI.
It is throwing the following error, even though everything is already installed and running.
Could not find rake-12.3.2 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
rails db:create and rails db:migrate are fine.
I have tried running the commands from inside the docker CLI and via docker-compose run, and they throw the same error.
My dockerfile, named Dockerfile.dev is as follows
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM ruby:2.6.2-stretch
RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y nodejs postgresql-client
WORKDIR /app
COPY Gemfile /app/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /app/Gemfile.lock
RUN gem install bundler && bundle install
RUN rails db:create db:migrate
# Add a script to be executed every time the container starts.
COPY entrypoint.sh /usr/bin/
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["entrypoint.sh"]
EXPOSE 3000
# Configure the main process to run when running the image
CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]
My docker-compose file as as follows
version: "3.9"
services:
db:
image: postgres
volumes:
- ./tmp/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
web:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev
image: project-x-image-annotator:v1
command: bash -c "rm -f tmp/pids/server.pid && bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'"
volumes:
- .:/app
ports:
- "3000:3000"
depends_on:
- db
Another development is that I have 2 copies of rake, but only 1 rails.
xxxx#yyyy project-x % docker-compose run web whereis rails
[+] Running 1/0
⠿ Container project-x-db_1 Running 0.0s
rails: /usr/local/bundle/bin/rails
xxxx#yyyy project-x % docker-compose run web whereis rake
[+] Running 1/0
⠿ Container project-x-db_1 Running 0.0s
rake: /usr/local/bin/rake /usr/local/bundle/bin/rake
I finally solved it.
I think the Gemfile.lock had conflicts on it that affected my container but not my buddy's.
I removed the Gemfile.lock and ran bundle install. This fixed the issue of rails g not working.
Would love to hear from a rails expert on why the bundle install did not make an entirely new lock file when run inside the container.

Docker compose ERROR: Service 'web' failed to build : COPY failed: forbidden path

I'm following the official docker tutorial to set up rails in docker the link of the same is given below

The error which I'm getting when run this command
docker-compose run --no-deps web rails new . --force --database=postgresql
Error:
Step 7/12 : COPY ../compose /myapp

I'm relatively new to docker setups. I saw similar kind of errors in SO but their set up files are different so couldn't understood how to fix it.
You are getting the error because you are trying to copy a file that is outside of the build context. the build context according to the documentation of docker-compose:
Either a path to a directory containing a Dockerfile, or a url to a
git repository.
When the value supplied is a relative path, it is interpreted as
relative to the location of the Compose file. This directory is also
the build context that is sent to the Docker daemon.
try changing COPY ../compose /myapp to COPY . .
and run the build command in a terminal within the directory

Docker Image Contains files that Docker Container doesn't

I have a Dockerfile that contains steps that create a directory and runs an angular build script outputing to that directory. This all seems to run correctly. However when the container runs, the built files and directory are not there.
If I run a shell in the image:
docker run -it pnb_web sh
# cd /code/static
# ls
assets favicon.ico index.html main.js main.js.map polyfills.js polyfills.js.map runtime.js runtime.js.map styles.js styles.js.map vendor.js vendor.js.map
If I exec a shell in the container:
docker exec -it ea23c7d30333 sh
# cd /code/static
sh: 1: cd: can't cd to /code/static
# cd /code
# ls
Dockerfile api docker-compose.yml frontend manage.py mysite.log pnb profiles requirements.txt settings.ini web_variables.env
david#lightning:~/Projects/pnb$ docker container ls
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ea23c7d30333 pnb_web "python3 manage.py r…" 13 seconds ago Up 13 seconds 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp pnb_web_1_267d3a69ec52
This is my dockerfile:
FROM python:3
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
RUN mkdir /code
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash -
RUN apt install nodejs
WORKDIR /code
ADD requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
ADD . /code/
RUN mkdir /code/static
WORKDIR /code/frontend
RUN npm install -g #angular/cli
RUN npm install
RUN ng build --outputPath=/code/static
and associated docker-compose:
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres
web:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
working_dir: /code
env_file:
- web_variables.env
command: python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
volumes:
- .:/code
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
- db
In the second example, the static directory has never been created or built into. I thought that a container is an instance of an image. How can the container be missing files from the image?
You're confusing build-time and run-time, along playing with Volumes.
Remember that host mount has priority over FS provided by the running container, so even your built image has assets, they are going to be overwritten by .services.web.volumes because you're mounting the host filesystem that overwrites the build result.
If you try to avoid volumes mounting you'll notice that everything is working as expected.

docker version 1.11.2, docker-machine version 0.8.0-rc1, docker-compose version 1.8.0-rc1, ruby 2.2.5, rails 4.2.4.
My problem is as:-
1) When I build the image with "docker-compose build" from project root directory the image builds successfully with gems installed.
2) But when I do "docker-compose up" the as_web and as_worker services exits with code 1 and 10 resp. giving error as no gemfile or .bundler found. When I login in image through bash and see the working directory then no project files are seen.
3) Knowledge I want to know is:-
i) when I start terminal, I start VirtualBox instance manually like "docker-machine start default"
ii) Then I execute command "eval $(docker-machine env dev)" to point current shell to virtualbox docker-daemon, So after this when i do "docker build -t as_web ." the terminal gives message like "sending current build context to docker daemon",
a) Is this message saying that build in being done in VirtualBox ?
if I do "docker-compose build" no such message like "sending...." appears,
B) Does docker-compose too point to docker daemon in virtual box or it's being build in localhost(myubuntuOS), I'm little bit confused?
Hoping you guys understood the details if you need any extra info. then let me know, Thanking you all. Happy Coding.
docker-compose build and docker build both do the same thing. They both use the docker engine API to build an image in the virtualbox. The output messages are just a little different.
Your problem is because of this:
volumes:
- .:/as_app
You're overriding the app directory with the project directory from the host. If you haven't run bundle install on the host, the files won't be in the container when it starts.
You can fix this by running docker-compose run as_app bundle install

Serving Rails' precompiled assets using nginx in Docker

Currently I'm setting up my app using docker. I've got a minimal rails app, with 1 controller. You can get my setup by running these:
rails new app --database=sqlite --skip-bundle
cd app
rails generate controller --skip-routes Home index
echo "Rails.application.routes.draw { root 'home#index' }" > config/routes.rb
echo "gem 'foreman'" >> Gemfile
echo "web: rails server -b 0.0.0.0" > Procfile
echo "port: 3000" > .foreman
And I have the following setup:
Dockerfile:
FROM ruby:2.3
# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
nodejs \
sqlite3 \
--no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Configure bundle
RUN bundle config --global frozen 1
RUN bundle config --global jobs 7
# Expose ports and set entrypoint and command
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["foreman", "start"]
# Install Gemfile in different folder to allow caching
WORKDIR /tmp
COPY ["Gemfile", "Gemfile.lock", "/tmp/"]
RUN bundle install --deployment
# Set environment
ENV RAILS_ENV production
ENV RACK_ENV production
# Add files
ENV APP_DIR /app
RUN mkdir -p $APP_DIR
COPY . $APP_DIR
WORKDIR $APP_DIR
# Compile assets
RUN rails assets:precompile
VOLUME "$APP_DIR/public"
Where VOLUME "$APP_DIR/public" is creating a volume that's shared with the Nginx container, which has this in the Dockerfile:
FROM nginx
ADD nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
And then docker-compose.yml:
version: '2'
services:
web:
build: config/docker/web
volumes_from:
- app
links:
- app:app
ports:
- 80:80
- 443:443
app:
build: .
environment:
SECRET_KEY_BASE: 'af3...ef0'
ports:
- 3000:3000
This works, but only the first time I build it. If I change any assets, and build the images again, they're not updated. Possibly because volumes are not updated on image build, I think because how Docker handles caching.
I want the assets to be updated every time I run docker-compose built && docker-compose up. Any idea how to accomplish this?
Compose preserves volumes on recreate.
You have a couple options:
don't use volumes for the assets, instead build the assets and ADD or COPY them into the web container during build
docker-compose rm app before running up to remove the old container and volumes.
