Docker for Rails Developers

Who Should Read This Book?

This book is for experienced Rails developers who want to learn how to use Docker. I’m going to assume, throughout the book, that you’re proficient at using Rails; this will allow us to focus on learning and applying Docker.

This book doesn’t aim to be a comprehensive manual on Docker: several other books serve that aim. Rather, this book is your field manual to building Rails applications with Docker. We’ll cover the most useful commands and features that you’ll need, and I’ll refer you to reference material as needed.

If you’re curious to discover how Docker can fit into your day-to-day workflow as a Rails developer, you’ve come to the right place.
