Getting Started

Requirements

• install ruby on rails: http://www.installrails.com/

Running in a Devcontainer (Recommended)

You can easily set up and run this project in a VS Code Devcontainer:

1. Open in VS Code/Cursor

   • Make sure you have the Dev Containers extension installed.
   • Open this project folder in VS Code.
   • When prompted, reopen the folder in the devcontainer, or use the command palette: Dev Containers: Reopen in Container.

2. Initial Setup

   • The devcontainer will automatically build and run bin/setup --skip-server to install dependencies and prepare the database.
   • If you need to re-run setup, use:

     bin/setup --skip-server

3. Start the Rails Server

   • In the devcontainer terminal, run:

     bin/dev

   • The app will be available at http://localhost:8080 on your host machine.

Up and Running

• the devcontainer.json configuration will also copy your ssh settings for github to the docker container so you can use git without needing to reauthenticate
