README

Droplets are integrations between third-party services and Fluid. This is a repository intended to be used as an example for creating Droplets.

Documentation can be found in the project's GitHub page

Deploy to google cloud

Run github action to deploy to google cloud deploy production or run the following command to deploy to google cloud

gcloud beta builds submit --config cloudbuild-production.yml --region=us-west3 --substitutions=COMMIT_SHA=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD),_TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S) --project=fluid-417204 .

Add environment variables to google cloud

Add environment variables to google cloud add-update-env-gcloud.sh and run the following command to add environment variables to google cloud sh add-update-env-gcloud.sh

Technology Stack

Local environment

Running locally

Install dependencies with bundle install and yarn install and install foreman with gem install foreman
Just the rails server (port 3000)
foreman start -f Procfile.dev

Running everything (port 3200)
bin/dev

Running locally with Makefile (Docker)

Configure your environment variables in .env file and run the following command:
make install Running it as a docker service (port 3600)
make up

Run make help to see all commands

Running locally with docker

This approach allows you to use your local PostgreSQL instance with Docker.

Prerequisites:

• Docker installed
• PostgreSQL running locally
• Database droplet_template_development created

Step-by-step setup:

1. Copy environment file:

   cp .env.local.example .env

2. Edit .env file with your database credentials:

   # Required
   SECRET_KEY_BASE=your_secret_key_here
   
   # Database connection (use your local PostgreSQL)
   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@host.docker.internal:5432/droplet_template_development
   
   # Environment
   RAILS_ENV=development

3. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t droplet-template .

4. Run database migrations (if needed):

   # If you haven't run migrations yet, run them first
   docker run --env-file .env -e RAILS_ENV=development droplet-template bin/rails db:migrate

5. Run the container:

   docker run -p 3200:80 --env-file .env -e RAILS_ENV=development droplet-template

6. Access the application: Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:3200

Notes:

• Use host.docker.internal instead of localhost in DATABASE_URL for Docker to access your local PostgreSQL
• The application will run on port 3200 (mapped from container port 80)
• Make sure your PostgreSQL is running and accessible before starting the container

Running with Docker for development (with Vite and hot reload)

For a full development experience with Vite, TypeScript compilation, and hot reload:

1. Copy environment file:

   cp .env.local.example .env

2. Edit .env file with your database credentials:

   # Required
   SECRET_KEY_BASE=your_secret_key_here
   
   # Database connection (use your local PostgreSQL)
   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@host.docker.internal:5432/droplet_template_development
   
   # Environment
   RAILS_ENV=development

3. Build the development Docker image:

   docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t droplet-template-dev .

4. Run the development container:

   docker run -p 3200:3000 -p 3036:3036 --env-file .env -e RAILS_ENV=development droplet-template-dev

5. Access the application:

   • Rails: http://localhost:3200
   • Vite: http://localhost:3036

Development features:

• Hot reload for frontend changes
• TypeScript compilation in watch mode
• Vite dev server for fast frontend development
• Full Rails development environment
