+# What is JRuby?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+JRuby (http://www.jruby.org) is an implementation of Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org) on the JVM.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose, open-source
|
|
|
+programming language. According to its authors, Ruby was influenced by Perl,
|
|
|
+Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp. It supports multiple programming paradigms,
|
|
|
+including functional, object-oriented, and imperative. It also has a dynamic
|
|
|
+type system and automatic memory management.

|
|
|
+JRuby leverages the robustness and speed of the JVM while providing the same
|
|
|
+Ruby that you already know and love.
|
|
|
+With JRuby you are able to take advantage of real native threads, enhanced
|
|
|
+garbage collection, and even import and use java libraries.

+# How to use this image
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Create a `Dockerfile` in your Ruby app project
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ FROM jruby:.1.7.15-onbuild
|
|
|
+ CMD ["./your-daemon-or-script.rb"]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Put this file in the root of your app, next to the `Gemfile`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This image includes multiple `ONBUILD` triggers which should be all you need to
|
|
|
+bootstrap most applications. The build will `COPY . /usr/src/app` and `RUN
|
|
|
+bundle install`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can then build and run the Ruby image:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ docker build -t my-ruby-app .
|
|
|
+ docker run -it --name my-running-script my-ruby-app
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Run a single Ruby script
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a
|
|
|
+complete `Dockerfile`. In such cases, you can run a Ruby script by using the
|
|
|
+Ruby Docker image directly:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp jruby:1.7.15 jruby your-daemon-or-script.rb
