Using Litestream with no Procfile (such as a dockerized Kamal deploy)

[5280bm]

If not using a Procfile, need a way to get the Litestream initalize directive into the startup.

On my Kamal deploy, I am currently running my Litestream initializer in my Docker Entry file (bin/docker-entrypoint) like such:

#docker-entrypoint

#!/bin/bash -e

# If running the rails server then create or migrate existing database
if [ "${1}" == "./bin/rails" ] && [ "${2}" == "server" ]; then
  ./bin/rails db:prepare
  litestream replicate -config /rails/config/litestream.yml &
fi


exec "${@}"

Note, I am installing Litestream and running it with a command in my Dockerfile

# Litestream
ADD https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/releases/download/v0.3.13/litestream-v0.3.13-linux-amd64.tar.gz /tmp/litestream.tar.gz
RUN tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzf /tmp/litestream.tar.gz
