All your Rails apps should start off with a bunch of great defaults.
Jumpstart Pro is a preconfigured Rails application, so you can either download the code or clone this repository and add your own repo as a remote to merge in updates.
You'll need the following installed to run the template successfully:
- Ruby 3.0 or higher
- bundler -
gem install bundler
- Redis - For ActionCable support (and Sidekiq, caching, etc)
- PostgreSQL -
brew install postgresql
- Imagemagick -
brew install imagemagick
- Yarn -
brew install yarn
or Install Yarn - Foreman (optional) -
gem install foreman
- helps run all your processes in development - Stripe CLI for Stripe webhooks in development -
brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe
First, edit config/database.yml
and change the database name.
Next, run bin/setup
to install Rubygem and Javascript dependencies. This will also install foreman system wide for you and setup your database.
bin/setup
Optionally, you can rename the application name in config/application.rb
. This won't affect anything, so it's not too important.
You can also rename the app in the Jumpstart config UI which updates the app name in the navbar, footer, etc.
To run your application, you'll use the bin/dev
command:
bin/dev
This starts up Foreman running the Procfile.dev config.
We've configured this to run the Rails server, CSS bundling, and JS bundling out of the box. You can add background workers like Sidekiq, the Stripe CLI, etc to have them run at the same time.
If you'd like to run Jumpstart Pro on Windows, we recommend using WSL2. You can find instructions here: https://gorails.com/setup/windows
Alternatively, if you'd like to use Docker on Windows, you'll need to make sure you clone the repository and preserve the Linux line endings.
git clone [email protected]:username/myrepo.git --config core.autocrlf=input
We include a sample Docker Compose configuration that runs Rails, Postgresql, and Redis for you.
Simply run:
docker-compose up
Then open http://localhost:3000
If you'd like to run Jumpstart Pro with Docker directly, you can run:
docker build --tag myapp .
docker run myapp
