Required Setup

Pre-requisites

• Ruby
• Rails
• Postgres

Setup Quickstart

Copy the .env.example to .env and replace the database credentials with your local postgres user credentials.

Create the database rake db:create

Start the rails server

rails s

This starts the rails server on localhost:3000

or using Docker

docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm app rails db:create
docker-compose up

This exposes the rails server on localhost:8080.

Note docker-compose runs the production docker image (RAILS_ENV=production) as the Dockerfile doesn't include development gems to keep the image size down.
