Running the project

git clone https://github.com/edmuri/Pillarboxd
cd Pillarboxd

Install docker compose

Then run

docker-compose up -d --build # wait until it downloads everything and starts the containers
docker exec -it rails_web bundle exec rails db:migrate:reset --trace # to create the schema for the db
docker exec -it rails_web bundle exec rails db:seed --trace # seed the database with data

The web server and db are already up and running. Database is at localhost:3306 and server is at localhost:3000

Updating and/or Reseeding the Database

docker exec -it rails_web bundle exec rails db:reset

Anytime Gemfile or core files are changed...

Core volumes have changed and need to delete cache for new container builds

docker-compose down --volumes
# Repeat steps above for install
