abevoelker/ruby repository overview

⁠Docker Ruby

This repo auto-generates Dockerfiles for a bunch of different flavors of MRI Ruby and JRuby using what's currently available to ruby-install⁠.

Look in the rubies/ directory to see available Docker Hub tags⁠, e.g. abevoelker/ruby:ruby-2.2.0.

The abevoelker/ruby:latest tag should reflect the latest stable MRI interpreter.

A real app's Dockerfile should inherit from this image, add an application user, add git, do a source checkout and bundle install, etc.

⁠Generating rubies/

To update all the Ruby version Dockerfiles available under rubies/, do make build.

⁠Old version

This image used to also provide:

• Postgres 9.3 client and development headers
• latest git binaries
• latest nginx
• latest Node.js binaries (for best execjs performance)
• Supervisor with an nginx config included
• ImageMagick
• locale set to en_US.UTF-8

But I decided that was getting outside the scope of the idea of a "Ruby" image. If you want the old version with these extras, it's still available using the tag abevoelker/ruby:old.
