A production-ready example Ruby on Rails application fully wired up with Docker and Docker Compose, using PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, Hotwire, and TailwindCSS. It serves as a starting template for new Rails projects or a reference guide for Dockerizing an existing Rails app following Docker best practices.

Use cases

• start a new rails project with docker
• dockerize an existing rails app
• learn docker best practices for web apps
• rails template with postgres redis and sidekiq
• production ready rails docker compose setup
• example rails app with hotwire and tailwind

When to choose

• you want a battle-tested Rails + Docker Compose starting point
• you prefer PostgreSQL, Redis, and Sidekiq over Rails' default solid_* adapters
• you want to learn how to structure a Dockerized Rails app for production

When to avoid

• you want to use Rails 8 defaults like Kamal, Thruster, and solid_* adapters
• you need a library or gem rather than a full example application
• your stack differs significantly from Rails/Postgres/Redis
