Feasible to use buildpacks with Rails?

1

I’ve deployed my first Rails app on Fly.io, and it was great to see fly intelligently pick “heroku/buildpacks:20” as the builder. However, I still need to run db setup and migrations. Am I right in thinking there’s no easy “heroku-like” way to do run one-off or on-deploy commands, and I just need to switch to a custom Dockerfile?

Hey! You can use this:

[deploy]
  release_command = "bundle exec rails db:migrate"

For setup, you could deploy and then login with fly ssh console to run one-off commands.

Oh wow perfect, thanks! I didn’t see this one in the configuration docs
