Docked Rails CLI is a Docker-based wrapper that lets newcomers run Rails with only Docker installed, via a simple 'docked' alias around the official Rails CLI image. It bundles the dependencies needed for a default 'rails new' app so beginners can scaffold and run a Rails app without installing Ruby locally.

Use cases

• set up rails development environment with only docker installed
• create a new rails app as a beginner without installing ruby
• run rails server and scaffolding commands through docker
• quickly try out rails on windows via wsl
• avoid local ruby and dependency setup for rails tutorials

When to choose

• you are new to Rails and want the fastest possible start
• you only have Docker available and don't want to install Ruby
• you're following beginner tutorials using default SQLite setup

When to avoid

• you need a full production or team development setup
• your app requires PostgreSQL, Redis, or other extra services
• you already have a working Ruby/Rails environment
