Rails with Docker: How to set up your Compose stack for Rails with Tailwind CSS

This video guide walks you through the process of setting up, installing, and initiating a new Rails application using the Tailwind CSS framework with Docker. It begins with installing Docker Desktop and checking out a GitHub repository with example code. Then, the guide moves on to setting up a Docker Compose stack and a Dockerfile for the app service. Next, we walk through installing Rails in a container, creating a new Rails app, and building the Compose stack. We then run a Rails console in an app service container and start a Rails server with the Compose stack. We also cover how to define and start a Tailwind watcher service with the Compose stack. In the latter part of the video, we generate a Post scaffold in an app service container and run tests in the same container. Throughout the guide, we troubleshoot any issues that come up and explain how to resolve them. By the end of this video, you'll be able to create a Rails application with the Tailwind CSS framework using Docker. Github repo with examples: https://github.com/profankhauser/exam...
