Ember.js Starter Project

Welcome to the Ember.js Starter Project! This repository provides a boilerplate for an Ember.js application, fully configured for deployment on Railway.

Features

Ember.js: A productive and battle-tested JavaScript framework for building modern web applications.
Dockerized Setup: Pre-configured Docker support for local development.
Railway Deployment: Ready to be deployed on Railway with minimal configuration.
Environment Configuration: Easy management of environment variables for production readiness.

Prerequisites

Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js and npm (or yarn) installed.
Docker: Ensure you have Docker installed on your machine for local development.
Railway CLI: Install the Railway CLI for deploying your project to Railway.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/francis-Paul-code/ember-railway-starter
cd ember-starter

2. Install Dependencies

Use npm or yarn to install the project dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn install

3. Build the Project

Build the Ember.js project for production:

ember build --environment production

This command will generate the dist directory containing the production-ready static files.

4. Set Up Environment Variables

If your application relies on environment variables, create a .env file in the root of your project or copy the existing .env.example:

cp .env.example .env

5. Build and Run Locally with Docker

Use Docker to build and run the project locally:

docker-compose up --build

Your Ember.js application should now be running on http://localhost:4200.

6. Deploy to Railway

To deploy the project to Railway, follow these steps:

Initialize a new Railway project:

railway init

Deploy your project:

railway up

Railway will automatically detect your environment variables and configuration. Your application will be deployed and accessible at a generated Railway URL.
