Does the ruby image contain rails?

Docker Desktop for Mac

The Rails image is deprecated in favor of the standard Ruby image. Does this mean the Ruby image also contains Rails? I want to develop web sites locally based on Ruby on Rails using MariaDB database if possible.

Thanks!

It appears the rails repo provides some guidance on adding rails support to your own image when using the ruby image as a base layer. See the repo description in the rails repo, which says

For example, a Dockerfile similar to the following would be a good starting point for a Rails project using PostgreSQL:

FROM ruby:2.3

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        postgresql-client \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY Gemfile* ./
RUN bundle install
COPY . .

EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]
