   A virtual machine for Ruby on Rails core development

   

   Luckily, the Rails team (and Xavier Noria in particular) found a way to solve this problem—rails-dev-box. Rails Dev Box is a Vagrant configuration, which allows you to spin up a virtual machine with everything you need inside. Cool, right?

   Ruby on Rails (by palkan)

   

   Since I mostly dealt with Active Record and Action Cable, my Docker configuration wasn't complete. Also, back in the days, the Rails codebase wasn't container-friendly (e.g., some tests relied on a Redis or PostgreSQL instance running on the same machine). Thus, I just kept my setup around (in a few commits], and haven't tried to promote to the upstream or whatever.

   Lately, I've been working a new PR to Action Cable and had to re-visit my configuration (since many things have changed in the last year). I liked what I got in the end, so I decided to share it with the community.

   The dip is a CLI dev–tool that provides native-like interaction with a Dockerized application.

   

   So, I went the old-fashioned way and added Dip to the mix. Now I can run all the familiar commands (bundle, rake, etc.) from my host system (with a dip prefix) without thinking about all the docker-compose --rm --it bla-bla. Moreover, I can cd into a subfolder (say, actioncable), and execute commands from there just like on a host machine:

6. Vagrant

   Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.
