Extended version of the puhsion/passenger docker image

What's added/new:

• Clean system-wide RAILS_ENV, RACK_ENV, NODE_ENV handling
• Automated ENV variable setup
• Prepared start scripts for sidekiq, clockwork, ...
• Pre-installed helper like psql, redis-cli, wget, ruby rest-client
• No sshd daemon (use docker exec) exclusivly
• Syslog forwarding to Docker logs disabled by default
• Nginx forwarding with tail disabled by default
• Nginx log forwarding by symlinks to STDOUT and STDERR

Logs

Make sure your rails/rack/nodejs app logs to STDOUT e.g. with rails_stdout_logging

Environment Variables

• Only docker exec -it <container> /bin/bash works corretly, because we can source the container_environment for bash. A command like docker exec -it <container> printenv shows, that all automaticly created environment variables like REDIS_URL do not exist.

Services

Sidekiq

Loads the default config/sidekiq.yml config file. Use this file for any configuration. DO NOT DEFINE ANY PID OR LOG FILES!

Clockwork

Specify an ENV CLOCKWORK_FILE variable in your Dockerfile to load clockwork with the correct file.

Credits
