Docker: Creating ruby 2.2.0, mysql and rails images

For the purposes of this post, I'm assuming you have a private repository with the address 10.0.0.1:5000.

In this example, you will notice a distinct similarity in the build scripts.
Hmm.
Funny that.
I created a tool sleet which is like fleet but for single server installs.
So that is the essence of those build scripts.
If I have time somewhere in my aging schedule and downright ludicrous deadlines, I'll open source it.

This creates 4 images in your private repo.

- debian which is an instance of jessie with various compilers etc installed.
- ruby-2.2.0 compiled from source
- mysql-ruby-2.2.0 with the build dependencies
- rails-2.2.0 from all of the above

The purpose was to get an image that can be used for `rails-api` micro services that builds and deploys ultra-fast.
This is done by pre-installing the most commonly used gems into the `rails-2.2.0` image.

Then when a build is done that inherits from the `rails-2.2.0` image, the `bundle install` simply uses the local gems and doesn't have to go off to any external gem sources.
The bundle output shows `Using` instead of `Installing` the latter of which involves snarfing gems off the web and purhaps compiling things.


First up, here's the tree you'll be creating:

.
├── debian
│   └── jessie
│       ├── Dockerfile
│       └── build.sh
├── mysql
│   └── 2.2.0
│       ├── Dockerfile
│       └── build.sh
├── rails
│   └── 2.2.0
│       ├── Dockerfile
│       ├── build
│       │   └── Gemfile
│       └── build.sh
└── ruby
    └── 2.2.0
        ├── Dockerfile
        └── build.sh

Here are the files:

YMMV.
