Foodsoft on Docker

This document explains setting up Foodsoft with Docker for development. system. Another option is to run it within an existing system. If instead you just want to run Foodsoft without changing its code, please refer to hosting or deployment.

Requirements

Docker (=> 1.9.1)
Docker Compose (=> 1.4)
Nothing more, no Ruby, MySQL, Redis etc!

For installing instructions see https://docs.docker.com/installation/. Docker runs on every modern Linux kernel, but also with a little help on MacOS and Windows!

Setup

Then setup foodsoft development (this will take some time, containers needs to be pulled from docker registry and a lot dependencies needs to be installed)

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml run --rm foodsoft \
  bundle exec rake foodsoft:setup_development

Do not enable mailcatcher, because this is already included as a docker image.

Then create an initial database (here seeded with small.en) by running

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d mariadb && sleep 15
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml run --rm foodsoft \
  bundle exec rake db:create db:schema:load db:seed:small.en

To avoid having to pass the -f argument all the time, it is recommended to setup an alias, e.g. by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc

alias docker-compose-dev='docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml'

then reload it by executing . ~/.bashrc. Following commands assume this is setup.

Usage

Start containers (in foreground, stop them with Ctrl-C)

docker-compose-dev up

Run a rails/rake command

docker-compose-dev run --rm foodsoft bundle exec rake db:migrate

Open a rails console

docker-compose-dev run --rm foodsoft bundle exec rails c

Setup the test database

docker-compose-dev run --rm foodsoft bundle exec rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=test DATABASE_URL=mysql2://root:secret@mariadb/test

Run the tests

docker-compose-dev run --rm foodsoft ./bin/test

Jump in a running container for debugging.

docker exec -ti foodsoft_foodsoft_1 bash

Notes

Receiving mails

Go to http://localhost:1080

Gemfile updates

As the gem bundle is stored in a volume, you can run

docker-compose-dev run --rm foodsoft bundle install
docker-compose-dev restart foodsoft foodsoft_worker

Do this each time you update your Gemfile.

Database configuration

To make this easier we use the environment variable DATABASE_URL (and TEST_DATABASE_URL when using the testing script).
