BNB Dip Defaults

Shared dip configuration defaults for Brand New Box team members.

Background

BNB uses dip to consistently act inside our docker containers. A lot of those commands are the same across all projects. This project maintains a set of shared dip commands that we can all use.

How to use

Install dip.

After dip is installed, clone the bnb-dip-defaults repository onto your machine. Location does not matter.

Create a symbolic link to this projects dip.yml file in your home directory (or some other high level directory that contains all of your BNB projects).

cd ~
ln -s /path/to/bnb-dip-defaults/dip.yml ~/dip.yml

Now, when you are in any sub-directory, dip will search up and find this shared dip.yml file.

When you are wanting to add additional commands to a specific repository, create a dip.override.yml inside the repository and dip will merge that in with these global defaults.

Update

You can get the latest and greatest BNB Dip Defaults by pulling the latest from GitHub.

Caveats

In order to get support for both development and test environments, there are a few things you must "under-specify":

Database URL

Your environment variable should set the database URL without the database name. Rails will use the name specified in your database.yml config to determine the database name.

DATABASE_URL=postgis://postgres:password@postgres:5432

default: &default
  adapter: postgis
  encoding: unicode
  pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
  schema_search_path: public

development:
  <<: *default
  database: rosetta_development

test:
  <<: *default
  database: rosetta_test

RAILS_ENV

Do not specify RAILS_ENV=development in your .docker-development-vars. Rails will figure this out by default. Doing so will give bundler the freedom to install both development AND test gems.
