Ops Run Local

Ops: Run Local

Manage the local Docker Compose development environment.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS — start, stop, restart, status, start-app, start-services (default: start)

Prerequisites (run before any operation)

1. Verify Docker is running:

   docker info > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Docker OK" || echo "ERROR: Docker is not running — start Docker Desktop"
   

2. Check port availability:

   lsof -i :3000 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN
   lsof -i :5432 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN
   

3. Verify Ruby and Bundler are available:

   ruby --version && bundle --version
   

Discovery

Read the project's docker-compose.yml (or compose.yaml) to identify available services. Common services include:

• web or app — the Rails application
• postgres or db — PostgreSQL database
• worker — Solid Queue background worker
• css — Tailwind CSS watch process

Read Procfile.dev if it exists — it defines the local development process manager configuration (typically run via bin/dev).

Read config/database.yml to understand which databases need to exist locally.

Operations

start (full stack)

Start all Docker Compose services and the Rails application.

1. Start infrastructure services (PostgreSQL, etc.):

   docker compose up -d postgres
   

2. Wait for PostgreSQL (up to 30 seconds):

   for i in $(seq 1 30); do
     docker compose exec -T postgres pg_isready -U postgres > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "PostgreSQL ready" && break
     sleep 1
   done
   

3. Create and migrate databases (if needed):

   bin/rails db:prepare
   

4. Start the full stack via bin/dev (Procfile.dev) or Docker Compose:

   # Option A: Procfile.dev (preferred — starts web, worker, CSS watcher)
   bin/dev
   

   Run this in the background using the Bash tool with run_in_background: true.

   # Option B: Docker Compose (if all services are containerized)
   docker compose up -d
   

5. Wait for Rails (up to 60 seconds):

   for i in $(seq 1 60); do
     curl -sf http://localhost:3000/up > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Rails ready" && break
     sleep 1
   done
   

6. Report status table.

start-services (infrastructure only)

Start only infrastructure services (database, cache) without the Rails app.

docker compose up -d postgres

Wait for readiness:

for i in $(seq 1 30); do
  docker compose exec -T postgres pg_isready -U postgres > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "PostgreSQL ready" && break
  sleep 1
done

start-app (Rails app only, assumes services are running)

bin/dev

Run in background. Verify:

for i in $(seq 1 60); do
  curl -sf http://localhost:3000/up > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Rails ready" && break
  sleep 1
done

stop

Stop all local services.

# Stop Rails processes (bin/dev uses foreman which spawns child processes)
lsof -ti :3000 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null || echo "No Rails process on :3000"

# Stop Docker Compose services
docker compose down

restart

1. Run stop (above).
2. Wait 2 seconds: sleep 2
3. Run start (above).
4. Verify all services respond.

status

Check what is currently running and responsive.

echo "=== Port Check ==="
echo -n "Rails    :3000 — "; lsof -i :3000 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN > /dev/null && echo "LISTENING" || echo "NOT LISTENING"
