Running with Docker and Docker-Compose
The project now includes a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml. You need to turn .env.production sample into .env.production with all the variables set before you can:
docker-compose build
And finally
docker-compose up
As usual, the first thing you would need to do would be to run migrations:
docker-compose run web rake db:migrate
