The Dockerfile and build configuration can be found here:

https://github.com/rockitthill/docker-ruby27multi⁠

This provides a base Ruby image suitable for expansion for a Ruby 2.7/Rails 6 application, containing core software and an older version of node (14 LTS - since most apps use some flavor of JS these days). Here's the complete details:

• Based on ruby:2.7.8-slim
• Installation of the following:
  • build-essential, curl, git, nano
  • python2 (required by some dependencies)
  • node 14.x (LTS) - this is using the legacy nodesources installer, but I've found it to be significantly more reliable
  • yarn 1.22.4
  • npm 10.2.3
• Environment configuration:
  • Sets EDITOR to nano (easier editing of credentials for us non-vim people)

Please see https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/rockitthill/rails6⁠ for an example of this image in use.
