Answer 1

Better late than never. After cloning the git repo you want to replace the Dockerfile with the Dockerfile from the tutorial page learn docker

Answer 2

I was also facing the same issue, I updated my docker file and replaced ENTRYPOINT statement with CMD and sample docker file I used to setup my rails application is mentioned below:
FROM ruby:3.1.1-slim
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install ruby-full build-essential -y && \
apt-get install libpq-dev -y
COPY . .
RUN gem install bundler:2.3
RUN gem update --system
RUN bundle install
RUN if [ -f tmp/pids/server.pid ]; then rm tmp/pids/server.pid; fi
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]
After that I created this docker compose:
version: '3'
services:
api:
container_name: api
build: .
restart: always
tty: true
volumes:
- ".:/usr/src/app"
ports:
- "3000:3000"
depends_on:
- postgres
postgres:
image: postgres:15-alpine
container_name: postgres
restart: always
volumes:
- "data:/data/db"
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
volumes:
data:
and after docker compose up
Running:
docker compose run api bin/rails db:create
worked for me.
