Clone this repository at the most recent tag and
cd
into it:git clone -b 'v0.3' --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/archonic/limestone.git cd limestone
-
Make a copy of
.env-example
named.env
:cp .env-example .env
-
Update the
.env
file - running the project requires you change the following:STRIPE_API_KEY
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
STRIPE_SIGNING_SECRET
(This can be something random)
You probably want to update the
ADMIN_*
environment variables. If you want a differentCOMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME
and database name, now is the best time to do that. -
Run
docker-compose run web yarn install --pure-lockfile
to download images, build your development image and install node_modules. This will take a while. -
Run
docker-compose up
to run your project and it's dependencies. -
Once everything is up, run
docker-compose exec web rails db:prepare
to create DB, load schema and seed. Seeding will also create your plan(s) in Stripe. -
Visit http://localhost:3000 and rejoice 🎉 You can login using the Admin user defined in
.env
. Keep in mind your admin doesn't have active billing. Enter a test card when prompted or by visiting /subscribe. -
See the Limestone Wiki more about development with Docker
- The Flipper gem controls feature flagging and provides a UI. Visit the
/admin/flipper
. - The feature called
public_registration
has been created for you (during seeding). You can enable/disable this to control user registration 👏
A wiki will be written about this. Feel free to help out here if you're familiar with Docker/Kubernetes.
