docker-node-example VS docker-rails-example

Here's a full example project where a Node app is split up between a front-end and back-end with multi-stage builds: https://github.com/nickjj/docker-node-example

Here's a walk through on how to use them https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/docker-tip-94-docker-compose-v2-and-profiles-are-the-best-thing-ever and here's an example Node project that's using profiles https://github.com/nickjj/docker-node-example.

If your goal is to "learn Docker", I have around 100+ free blog posts and YouTube videos at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/tag/docker-tips-tricks-and-tu...

https://github.com/nickjj/docker-node-example is an up to date Node example[0] that's ready to go for development and production and sets up GitHub Actions. Its readme links to a DockerCon talk from about a year ago that covers most of the patterns used in that project and if not some of my more recent blog posts cover the rest.

It doesn't cover feature branch deployments tho, in my opinion that's unrelated to Docker.

[0]: You can replace "node" in the GitHub URL with flask, rails, django and phoenix for other example apps in other tech stacks.

A fully working example Node app that demos the above is here: https://github.com/nickjj/docker-node-example

I took a 13,000 line Rails 7.0 app and updated it to 7.1. I had to change 1 line of test configuration code to make everything work.

I would say that's a success for having an easy upgrade path. Now the fun part is going back to refactor some of the code to use the new features in 7.1.

If anyone is curious, I updated my Rails / Docker example app to use 7.1 too https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example. Even though Rails 7.1 comes with a Dockerfile, there's still a lot of opinions you can add such as using Docker Compose to have a fully working out of the box experience that works in development and production -- complete with Postgres, Redis, Action Cable, Sidekiq and more.

Even though Rails 7.1 comes with a Dockerfile, there's still a lot of opinions you can add such as using Docker Compose to have a fully working out of the box experience that works in development and production.

If anyone is interested in that, I updated my example Rails app https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example to use Rails 7.1 a few hours after 7.1 dropped.

If you're itching for Docker compatibility I maintain https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example.

There's https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example if you're looking for an end to end 1 command solution that works in dev and prod. It pulls together Puma, Sidekiq, Action Cable, Postgres, Redis, esbuild and Tailwind. It's all set up and ready to use Hotwire as well.

If anyone is looking for a more complete guide I put together this a while back: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-guide-for-running-rails-in-...

The post also includes a ~1h hour ad-free YouTube video. It includes running Rails and also Sidekiq, Postgres, Redis, Action Cable and ties in esbuild and Tailwind too. It's all managed by Docker Compose.

The example app is open source at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example and it's optimized for both development and production. No strings attached.

If you're interested I've created https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example with a base project using Docker Compose, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, Tailwind and esbuild.

I create an Up controller https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example/blob/main/app/controllers/up_controller.rb and then have Uptime Robot https://uptimerobot.com/ hit it every few minutes.
