There was a typo where we said we were creating the containers but we were building the image. While none of these commands are necessary because they're run automatically when first running the `db:create` rake task, I think it's better to show them separately, since the `build` command might be used to rebuild the image, and running the `create` command separately makes it easier to know what's going on. We're also removing the "start database service" step, since it's automatically started because the app service depends on it. Finally, we're updating one command for macOS.

# Using Docker for local development
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Docker and Docker Compose should be installed on your machine. The installation process depends on your operating system.
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
You can follow the [official Docker installation documentation](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/).
|
|
|
|
Or, if you have [homebrew](http://brew.sh) installed, you can just:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install docker
|
|
brew install docker-compose
|
|
brew install --cask docker
|
|
open -a docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll be asked to give permissions to the Docker app and type your password; then, you're set.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
1. Install Docker and Docker Compose. For example, in Ubuntu 22.04:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install docker.io docker-compose-v2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
The official Docker documentation includes a page with instructions to [install Docker Desktop on Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/). From there, download Docker Desktop for Windows and execute it.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo on your computer and enter the folder:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
|
|
cd consuldemocracy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then create the secrets and database config files based on the example files:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
|
|
cp config/database-docker.yml.example config/database.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then build the image with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And create the containers:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose create
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now initialize your development DB and populate it with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose run app rake db:create db:migrate
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose run app rake db:dev_seed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running Consul Democracy in development with Docker
|
|
|
|
Now we can finally run the application with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you'll be able to access it by opening your browser and visiting [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if you'd like to run the rails console:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password docker-compose run app rails console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To verify the containers are up execute:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker ps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see an output similar to this:
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Run these commands **inside Consul Democracy's directory**, to erase all your previous Consul Democracy's Docker images and containers. Then start the Docker [installation process](#installation) once again.
|
|
|
|
1. Remove all Consul Democracy images:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose down --rmi all -v --remove-orphans
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Remove all Consul Democracy containers:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose rm -f -s -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Check whether there are still containers left:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker ps -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. In case there are, remove each one manually:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker container rm <container_id>
|
|
```
