The problem
In Trito we use Docker to develop Ruby on Rails applications.
Rails has many commands that are called from the console like
rails g model MyModel
rails db:migrate
rails c
However, when we started using Docker all this become a bit more tedious
docker compose up app rails g model MyModel
docker compose up app rails db:migrate
docker compose up app rails c
The solution
To fix this we created the following script named dcrails (from docker-compose rails):
docker-compose run --rm app rails $*
Just create a file named dcrails with the previous command, add execution permisions to it (chmod +x dcrails
), and place it on a path on a folder in the $PATH.
Now we just need to use:
dcrails g model MyModel
dcrails db:migrate
dcrails c
That's all folks!
