# ============================================================================
# Created by https://Dockerfile.io/
# COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK TEMPLATE for Ruby on Rails

# ============================================================================
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# TEMPLATE OVERVIEW & USAGE NOTES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# • TEMPLATE TYPE: COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK TEMPLATE
# • PURPOSE: Production-ready Ruby on Rails application with security hardening
# • DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Self-contained with multi-stage builds and security
# • COMBINATION GUIDANCE: Use standalone for complete Rails applications
# • SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: Non-root user, Alpine base, health monitoring
# • BEST PRACTICES: Layer caching, dependency optimization, production defaults
# • OFFICIAL SOURCES: Rails documentation and Docker security guidelines

# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# USAGE EXAMPLES & BEST PRACTICES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Example 1: Build production image
# docker build --target runtime -t my-rails-app:prod .
# Example 2: Build development image
# docker build --target development -t my-rails-app:dev .
# Example 3: Build with custom arguments
# docker build \
# --build-arg RAILS_ENV=production \
# --build-arg BUILD_ID=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
# -t my-rails-app:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) .
# Example 4: Run production container
# docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name rails-app my-rails-app:prod
# Example 5: Run development container
# docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd):/app --name rails-dev my-rails-app:dev
# Best Practices:
# 1. Always use .dockerignore to exclude log/, tmp/, .git, etc.
# 2. Use specific Ruby versions (not 'latest')
# 3. Run health checks in production
# 4. Use multi-stage builds for smaller images
# 5. Set resource limits in docker-compose or Kubernetes
# Customization Notes:
# 1. Adjust database client based on your database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
# 2. Modify health check endpoint as needed
# 3. Add environment variables for your application
# 4. Customize Gemfile for your dependencies
# 5. Consider adding Puma for production with multiple workers
