Some Windows error stopping me from running the app

Does it work if you run bundle lock --add-platform x64-mingw-ucrt ?

There is a PR that adds windows support but the above may get you unstuck.

[hyoretsu]

Don't think it did, I got thet same error. I'm actually getting stuck in various steps along the way (Tried running normally, using docker build, docker compose, running as sudo, etc). I get

/snap/ruby/324/lib/ruby/3.3.0/mkmf.rb:480:in `try_do': The compiler failed to generate an executable file.
(RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.

On bundle install. Maybe it's because I installed Ruby with Snap.

Just for the record though, I'm not using Windows. I'm trying to run it self-hosted on an EC2 Instance.

Ah gotcha. The error message threw me off. Do you get an error building the docker image?

[hyoretsu]

I ended up being able to build the docker image with sudo docker build -t maybe . but when I ran the image I couldn't start it as it was perma exitted. Another time I got something about a secretkey I think, which was invalid.

In general I've always stepped devs away from running rails apps in Windows. Instead I recommend using WSL to run Ubuntu on the Windows machine and run the rails app through it. It's generally a simple setup, though I haven't tried with this particular app.
