The Ruby language-specific guide teaches you how to containerize a Ruby on Rails application using Docker. In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Containerize and run a Ruby on Rails application
- Configure a GitHub Actions workflow to build and push a Docker image to Docker Hub
- Set up a local environment to develop a Ruby on Rails application using containers
- Deploy your containerized Ruby on Rails application locally to Kubernetes to test and debug your deployment
Start by containerizing an existing Ruby on Rails application.
