Usage Notes

Create a Dockerfile in your Ruby app project: 

FROM icr.io/ibmz/ruby:[version]

# throw errors if Gemfile has been modified since Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle config --global frozen 1
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY Gemfile Gemfile.lock ./
RUN bundle install
COPY . .
CMD ["ruby", "your-daemon-or-script.rb"]

Put this file in the root of your app, next to the Gemfile.

If you are running Ruby script(s) that do not have or require a Gemfile, you can just get rid of all code in Dockerfile that has anything to do with a Gemfile.

You can then build and run the Ruby image:

docker build -t my-ruby-app .

docker run -it --name my-running-script my-ruby-app
