Adding these exports will use Homebrew's Ruby and you don't want to use Homebrew's Ruby. You want to use Mise as we show in the guide.

After you follow the instructions in the guide, you may need to restart your terminal for it to detect the Rails command.

What is the error?

You probably have to build it yourself, but the Rails devcontainer repo will let you specify the Ruby version with an env var: https://github.com/rails/devcontainer/blob/main/images/ruby/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json#L19

See also the Devcontainer docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers

Marketplaces can be pretty confusing. I think this sounds right, but I can't remember if the users receiving payments will need to be a Merchant or not.

Stripe now uses Payouts instead of Transfers, so we might need to update Pay a bit to help with that functionality. They're constantly changing things so it can be hard to keep up!

Everyone wants multitenancy to work differently, so what are you specifically trying to do? Separate logins by subdomain or something?

Those are on my list!

I really love how flexible and easy to customize the new Rails 8 authentication generator is. Think we should cover 2 Factor Auth next?

What do you think about having a built-in linter that comes with Rails?

Raise your hand if you're guilty of making this mistake in the past. 👋😬

That's probably a bug in the UserAgent bot check I would imagine.

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/v7.2.0/actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/allow_browser.rb#L88

If you're building a no build Rails application that makes use of modern browser features (like ONCE Campfire!), you'll definitely want to use this.

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

That would be great to know. Had the same question about OrbStack. 🧐

You can install vim / neovim / etc inside the container. Here's a blog post about it: https://cadu.dev/running-neovim-on-devcontainers/

That's exactly what it's for. 👍

Depends on what you need. I assume you want users to be able to upload videos through your application? What other features do you need?

If you don't mind the videos being publicly available, YouTube can work and it's probably your only free option.
We use Bunny.net for video hosting and it's very cheap compared to alternatives like Wistia, Mux, and AWS.

You could also use Rails' built-in ActiveStorage, but with video it helps to use a service that transcodes videos into playlists that can stream at different bitrates.

Bunny has some JavaScript you can use to upload videos from your application that you can read up on. You'll need to generate the signature server-side to keep your API key secret when generating the presigned uploads. This is basically the same way direct uploads work with ActiveStorage to send files directly from the browser to the hosting service instead of uploading to Rails, then uploading again to the hosting service.

Pretty excited about this because it makes Rails development so much easier to start for beginners or for teams using various operating systems.

I also forgot to mention, there is a devcontainer CLI that you can use outside of VS Code, so you could use Vim or other editors inside the devcontainer. https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

What do you think? Will you use Dev Containers?

Rack Attack is still useful for safelists and blocklists, but the rate limiting / throttling feature is pretty much the same as what's built into Rails now.

The Rails rate limit feature is a bit more friendly since you get all the Rails features, while Rack Attack requires you to write your own Rack responses without any Rails helpers.

Both use the Rails cache store by default, so you won't need to reach for Rack Attack unless you want to setup safelists, blocklists, or another feature.

Glad you enjoyed it Tony!
