What Is Rails Starter?
Rails Starter creates a runnable Ruby on Rails workspace. The generated service opens through a Moltern URL and stores project files on the starter workspace.
Use it to prototype a Rails app before moving the code into a Git-backed application.
Terminal
Open the service, wait for Running, then use the Terminal tab for short development commands.
Useful checks:
cd /workspace/appruby --versionbin/rails --version
Avoid starting a second server on the same port as the running starter.
Private Connections
Connect private databases, caches, or APIs from service settings. After connecting, open a new terminal session or restart the app process so new variables are available.
Production Path
When the prototype is ready, commit the project to Git and deploy it as a Moltern application.
