Complete Rails app + dev environment.
One command.
Nothing to install.
If you want to start coding on a new Rails application, you're not exactly done when you finish typing rails new
.
You also typically need to set up some dependencies, including:
The typical way of handling these is to install and configure them one-by-one, and then run them one-by-one too. It's a little bit tedious.
And it can be seriously tedious on a new computer that doesn't even have all your dependencies (e.g. RVM, PostgreSQL, etc.) installed.
If you have a Dockerized Rails application, you don't have to manually install and run your app's dependencies.
With a Dockerized app you can run a single command on any computer and be running your Rails app in just a few minutes. You don't even have to have Ruby or Rails installed on your computer.
But this of course means you have to have a Dockerized Rails application. Unless you've already spent a lot of time with Docker, this can be a very serious undertaking. Dockerizing a Rails app isn't easy.
What if there were a tool that just Dockerized your new Rails app for you?
You could run a command—even on a fresh computer that doesn't have anything but Docker installed—and get a fully Dockerized Rails app that will run with zero configuration changes?
What if this tool not only gave you a fully Dockerized Rails app, but gave you an app that already included much of the work that you have to do anyway?
For example, as long as we're generating an app, it would be nice if the app came with Devise, RSpec, Tailwind, and even a working test suite so you don't have to set up all that stuff from scratch.
With a single command, Instant Rails gives you a Dockerized Rails app. Not only does the command generate the Rails app, but it runs the app too.
This means that after you generate your app, all you have to do is visit your app in the browser and see it working. No additional steps.
You can use Instant Rails by invoking the following command.
$ curl get.instantrails.app|sh -s hello_world d59acc96f84c
hello_world
is the name of the app and d59acc96f84c
is the license key in this example.
After you've run the above step, just visit localhost:3001
and see your new Rails app working.
That's all there is to it!

I've been looking to move my Rails development onto Docker and this excellent tool came along at the perfect time. Thanks @JasonSwett!
Worked like a charm and took less than 5 minutes to run and produce this 👇 https://t.co/IcX0NIcQVb pic.twitter.com/et5KuHBACW

This project looks promising for #Rails developers who format their Macs and start fresh every few weeks/months... 👍 https://t.co/Sog26MRkRh
