  • libaws

    aws should be easy

  • i also wanted a good cli for aws, and built one:

    https://github.com/nathants/libaws

    companies like fly are fantastic.

    they provide a good service, and they put market pressure on aws.

  • dockerfile-rails

    Provides a Rails generator to produce Dockerfiles and related files.

  • Did you try migrating with this guide? https://fly.io/docs/rails/getting-started/migrate-from-herok...

    The issues you ran into with older versions of Rails was probably because the Dockerfile that `fly launch` generated was for new versions of Rails. We switched to https://github.com/rubys/dockerfile-rails to streamline Dockerfile generation and support older versions of Rails.

    If you try it again and run into issues you can open an issue at https://github.com/rubys/dockerfile-rails/issues or post in https://community.fly.io and somebody will help get that sorted out.

    The more versions of Rails we can deploy the better!
