# What is Ruby on Rails?
|
|
|
|
Ruby on Rails, often simply referred to as Rails, is an open source web application framework which runs via the Ruby programming language. It is a full-stack framework: it allows creating pages and applications that gather information from the web server, talk to or query the database, and render templates out of the box. As a result, Rails features a routing system that is independent of the web server.

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
## Create a `Dockerfile` in your rails app project
|
|
FROM rails:onbuild
|
|
|
|
Put this file in the root of your app, next to the `Gemfile`.
|
|
|
|
This image includes multiple `ONBUILD` triggers so that should be all that you need for most applications. The build will `COPY . /usr/src/app`, `RUN bundle install`, `EXPOSE 3000`, and set the default command to `rails server`.
|
|
|
|
Then build and run the docker image.
|
|
|
|
docker build -t my-rails-app .
|
|
docker run --name some-rails-app -d my-rails-app
|
|
|
|
Test it by visiting `http://container-ip:3000` in a browser. On the other hand, if you need access outside the host on port 8080:
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-rails-app -p 8080:3000 -d my-rails-app
|
|
|
|
Then hit `http://localhost:8080` or `http://host-ip:8080` in a browser.

We recommend discussing your plans through a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/docker-library/rails/issues) before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone else is working on the same thing.
