I’ve been using the docker scripts bundled with discourse for a while, but I’ve found they don’t work particularly well with my want to often switch between different dev instances (for instance, one running tests-passed, one running a branch where I’m developing an awesome new feature, one running a plugin I’m developing, and so on).
So, I rolled my own, heavily inspired by the originals:
https://github.com/LeoMcA/discourse-dev-scripts
I’ve been using them for about a week now and they haven’t set anything on 
, so I humbly offer them up to anyone else who may find them useful.
Basic usage is explained in the README, but to give a taste:
- Setup a
fooenvironment:
source discourse-dev-scripts/setup foo - Create the
discourse_dev_foodocker image with thebarplugin mounted as a volume:
create -p bar - Run rails:
rails s
There are some known limitations documented, and probably others I haven’t thought of, which you’re more than welcome to submit a PR to fix, or just complain about in the posts below!
