## What it is
A reference Rails 7 application demonstrating how to dockerize a full production stack, including ActionCable, Sidekiq background jobs, OpenSearch full-text search, and S3 image uploads. It builds a lean ~80MB Alpine-based Docker image and ships a multi-container docker-compose production setup.

## Use cases
- dockerize a rails app for production
- example rails 7 docker-compose setup with sidekiq and elasticsearch
- build a small alpine-based rails docker image
- learn how to deploy rails with actioncable and background jobs
- reference implementation for rails full-text search with opensearch
- multi-container rails production architecture example

## When to choose
- you want a working example of a lean, production-ready Rails Docker setup
- you need to see how to wire Rails with Sidekiq, OpenSearch, ActionCable, and S3 uploads in containers
- you are learning multi-container Rails deployment with docker-compose

## When to avoid
- you need a production CMS to use as-is rather than a demonstration app
- you want a maintained framework or library rather than a reference implementation
- your stack differs significantly from Rails, Sidekiq, and OpenSearch

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, search-engine, file-upload, deployment, scheduling, auth, websocket
- domain: web-development, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
- tags: rails, docker-compose, sidekiq, opensearch, actioncable, stimulus, reference-implementation, production-deployment, alpine-images, search, docker, linux, web-server
