Description

Thanks for building and sharing this great product!

Would you consider creating a Docker image for this?

I tried going through https://github.com/square/shift/wiki/Installation-Guide, but the setup errors out on the latest master, because of version drifts over time, and native extensions failing to build on Ruby 2.2. Even after bumping to Ruby 2.5, packages like json, mysql2, and therubyracer need version tweaks, which triggers a need for cascading changes all over the place.

I'm more than happy to share an attempt in progress so we can discuss better. Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the linked Installation Guide and reproduce the setup failure against the latest master, noting the Ruby and native dependency versions involved. Define the image's supported Ruby and package versions, then verify that the Docker image builds and provides a working Shift installation for MySQL schema migrations.
