I'm setting up a Dockerfile for my Rails project. To do so, I'm loading the Ruby Docker container like this:
FROM ruby:2.2.3
My application already contains a .ruby-version file that's used everywhere else to set the version. I'd really love to avoid duplicating the version number in my Dockerfile. Essentially, I'd like to do something like this:
Ruby ruby:$(cat .ruby-verison)
The above command doesn't work. Is there some other way of accomplishing the same thing with Docker?
You could use RVM to accomplish this. It doesn't matter what docker image you use as long as it has rvm installed on it. Here is an example Dockerfile:
FROM yograterol:fedora-rvm
ADD 'your_script.sh' '/'
ADD '.ruby-version' '/'
RUN 'sh /your_script.sh'
And here is what your_script.sh could look like:
ruby_version=$(cat .ruby-version)
rvm install ruby-$ruby_version
rvm use ruby-$ruby_version

I'm using wkhtmltopdf for nodejs, followed instructions for windows installation (and added it to PATH after installation). When i start my app through bash, it works just fine as it should. I manage to convert html to pdf.
But it doesnt work when im using docker, like it doesnt even exists. Im assuming there is some other way to install it for docker, or some way to add PATH to docker?? Any other ideas? hints?
And before u say it, been googling it and looking for images and installations for docker, none helped. Got one that u know it works?
Anyways for all the others that found themselves in the same pickle... I was trying to use wkhtmltopdf within docker container while wkhtmltopdf was only installed and executable within system (windows/linux) environment and not in the actual docker environment... after updating dockerfile to automatically install wkhtml with the build, I also had to SET THE PATH.. for linux docker smth like this
cp wkhtmltox/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ &&
that made everything works just as it should.
I run Redmine 3.4 with Rails (5.2.0) and Docker 18.03.1-ce on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (which is new for me), following this GitHub repository: https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-redmine
I create my Rails app in the same folder where the docker-compose.yml has been created, and cd to it.
Then I have the exact same problem than described in this Redmine post (http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/48309?r=48507#message-48507): when I try the command rails generate redmine_plugin Plug_test, this two error messages appear:
Running via Spring preloader in process 32109
Could not find generator 'redmine_plugin'
So I try the commands that Keith suggested, and running the generate command again, the Spring error message disappear, but the generate command still doesn't work (Could not find generator 'redmine_plugin').
Any idea what to do? I don't know if I'm going in the right direction.
Thanks a lot for your help.
well simple problem, you're running command from outside of your redmine app directory, you need to go into your redmine app directory, after that you can run rails generate redmine_plugin Plugin_test from there
As Ravi mentioned above, you need to go into your redmine app directory instead of your rails app directory.
Or, maybe you can exec plugin generate command via docker run command.
# e.g. In case plugin name is “myplugin"
docker run --name=redmine -it --rm \
--volume=/srv/docker/redmine/redmine:/home/redmine/data \
sameersbn/redmine:3.4.4-2 \
app:rails generate redmine_plugin myplugin
If this works fine, plugin directory named “myplugin” will be generated under /srv/docker/redmine/redmine/plugins/ directory.
Personally, I think, you had batter not use docker to create and development Redmine’s plugin, especially if you are not familiar with Redmine and Docker so much.
I hope this would be any help.
I'd like to develop a rails app using docker so I don't have to install a database locally. Therefore I created the following basic example (new rails app):
https://gist.github.com/solars/62eeae2f86ab6ec3fa35
As you can see there is a problem with the bundler environment, can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Usually the Gemfile is copied over in the Dockerfile - but I think this is not necessary if mounting the app in a volume, is this right? (Most of the examples are using ADD or COPY for either the Gemfile or the app, but as I'm developing, I'd like to avoid that so I can always change things.
I also thought that something like docker-compose run app echo $PATH should return the $PATH in my container, but it seems to be the same as my local path? Same with echo $RAILS_ENV which returns nothing, although it's set in the compose file..
Solution: The container of course does not persist the bundled gems, that was the problem. So the solution is to either bundle in the Dockerfile, or have the gems in the app directory which is shared as a volume.
docker-compose run app echo $PATH will always return your local path, as the environment variable is interpreted by the local shell.
This would work better:
docker-compose run app sh -c 'echo $PATH'
Regarding rails, check "Rails 4 bundler: command not found: rails"
A bundle exec rake rails:update:bin might help (for instance, as a RUN directive in your Dockerfile).
I have a NodeJS/Express Dokku container. I'm trying to use a node module which just runs the wkhtmltopdf command from shell, but it can't find wkhtmltopdf.
Anyone have any experience with this?
You need to check how wkhtmltopdf was installed in that image.
As mentioned in node-wkhtmltopdf issues 32:
The wkhtmltopdf command is executed as a shell command on non-Windows systems.
Make sure the /usr/local/bin directory is in your $PATH variable. Do this by running:
$ sh
sh-3.2$ which wkhtmltopdf # Or try:
sh-3.2$ echo $PATH
sh-3.2$ exit
(In your case, you can do a sudo docker exec -it <containerIdOrName> sh)
The same issue adds:
What I ended up doing was downloading the dmg directly from wkhtmltopdf and that seemed to do the trick.
That means you might have to create a new image from the current one, installing wkhtmltopdf that way (with the dmg package)
jsonfry what installing wkhtmltopdf as a service container means: openlabs/docker-wkhtmltopdf-aas illustrates the installation process.
I got into the same issue as you did. I didn't want to run wkhtmltopdf in another container nor did I want to change the code to use remote calls. Since downloading wkhtmltopdf using apt-get plugin may result in a package that throws errors, I have created a new plugin that should set up wkhtmltopdf in the dokku container for you.
It is licensed using MIT license so feel free to do whatever you want. Hopefully it will help somebody.

I'm trying to write a shell script that automatically runs my rails app in a virtual machine.
My script code is this:
#!/bin/sh
PATH='/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/bin'
cd /home/lgdelacruz/SampleApp
rails server
But for some reason it doesn't see all the dependencies. this gives me the error
/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
I'm positive ruby is installed in the virtual machine. I can run rails server by manually going inside my virtual machine going to my SampleApp folder and running rails server there and everything works fine. But for some reason when I put all that in a shell script. it doesn't work.
You've probably got to initialize RVM in your script first. Try putting this line in:
source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
You might also need to specify a gemset, if you're using something other than the default:
rvm use #mygemset
See the RVM scripting docs for details.
In your shell script, you've reset your path to only include /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/bin. ruby is usually installed somewhere like /usr/local/bin
instead you could concatenate that directory onto the end of your existing path.
something like:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0.p482/bin
