Create a docker-compose config file to speed initial assessment

[notmymonkeys]

I'm trying to evaluate this project to use in my project. It looks very promising. With my limited knowledge of rails ecosystem it's quite a struggle to start this even locally not to mention deploying to prod like environment.
In my case I cannot install redis or postgressql on my local machine so I'm using docker version of those that runs on virtualbox docker-machine. This requires to specify DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL to both rails and sidekiq configuration.
Having docker-compose file that could be use as reference would be great help.

I can try to dockerize this project but will need some help in order to understand how to pass redis and postgresql connection strings to rails/sidekiq.

I have most of it running. Seems that when I start sidekiq it doesn't connect to the database. How can you configure database url for sidekiq workers?

Hi!

This project uses govuk_sidekiq which configures Redis for us. It looks for either a REDIS_URL or REDIS_HOST/REDIS_PORT environment variable: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_sidekiq/blob/master/lib/govuk_sidekiq/railtie.rb#L6
