Ruby on Rails Monday, March 16, 2020

The app in question is at https://github.com/jhsu802701/railn-20200316-215223-398 .  Note that config/environments/development.rb is configured for MailCatcher.

I've been able to use MailCatcher without docker-compose, but I can't quite figure out how to get it to work in a Rails app that revolves around docker-compose.

One solution I tried is to add the 1080:1080 port assignments to the web section of docker-compose.yml, but the MailCatcher interface doesn't appear at http://localhost:1080/.

Another solution I've tried is to add a mailcatcher section under services to make use of a Docker image dedicated to MailCatcher.  While the MailCatcher interface does appear, the email messages I expect when I try to sign up in my local setup do not materialize.

Exactly what am I missing?

PlantVillage https://plantvillage.psu.edu/ is an emergency relief tool for poor farmers across the world facing the threat of climate change and pests. It is run out of Penn State University and is an official tool of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation.  Our back end ruby platform connects to apps we developed and deployed across 66 countries in 29 languages. As a non-profit we have had little money todate  so outsourced development to a team in India. But this has created significant technical debt. 

We now need an experienced, very capable ruby engineer to work as a consultant. Ideally +/- 3 hrs EST. You would work would an Android developer and two engineers at Penn State and the Indian Team which we still engage. 

You would be entering a project that is rapidly building a tool immediately required to combat locusts plagues from Kenya to Pakistan and multiple other issues. These pests threaten the supply of 19 million people immediately. So,  we have a dual need: build tools needed immediately as well as repair the technical debt 

This would be a consultancy gig initially but could be transitioned to a paid position at Penn State (after a job is created). As a University, we have excellent benefits


Please email dhughes@psu.edu with your cv please and cover letter  and consultancy rate.

This is a chance to work on a globally important issue affecting hundreds of millions of extremely poor farmers around the world 

thanks

I also recommend running at least the DB in Docker. That should prevent most fiddling if your Mac OS changes. I use Docker for as much as I can. It ends up making things easier once you get up to speed with Docker. 

Furthermore, I just use an ubuntu virtual machine running in VirtualBox. That way did doesn't matter if you are using a Mac or Windows. The docker setup is constant in the ubuntu VM. I use Cyberduck/Filezilla/WinSCP to visualize the files and edit them locally with one click on the Mac or Windows machine.

If you notice only those 2 downside, you'd better stick with you current choice.
MySQL 8 has better encoding support, I am assuming you're mentioning about emoji encodings.
And you can also learn Docker for ease of development to address the other issue you have.
