Set up this Rails project for Conductor, the Mac app for parallel coding agents.
When to Use
- You need to configure a Rails project so it runs correctly inside Conductor workspaces.
- The project should support parallel coding agents with isolated ports, Redis settings, and shared secrets.
- You want the standard
conductor.json,bin/conductor-setup, andscript/serverscaffolding for a Rails repo.
What to Create
1. conductor.json (project root)
Create conductor.json in the project root if it doesn't already exist:
{
"scripts": {
"setup": "bin/conductor-setup",
"run": "script/server"
}
}
2. bin/conductor-setup (executable)
Create bin/conductor-setup if it doesn't already exist:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
# Symlink .env from repo root (where secrets live, outside worktrees)
[ -f "$CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/.env" ] && ln -sf "$CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/.env" .env
# Symlink Rails master key
[ -f "$CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/config/master.key" ] && ln -sf "$CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/config/master.key" config/master.key
# Install dependencies
bundle install
npm install
Make it executable with chmod +x bin/conductor-setup.
3. script/server (executable)
Create the script directory if needed, then create script/server if it doesn't already exist:
#!/bin/bash
# === Port Configuration ===
export PORT=${CONDUCTOR_PORT:-3000}
export VITE_RUBY_PORT=$((PORT + 1000))
# === Redis Isolation ===
if [ -n "$CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME" ]; then
HASH=$(printf '%s' "$CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_NAME" | cksum | cut -d' ' -f1)
REDIS_DB=$((HASH % 16))
export REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379/${REDIS_DB}"
fi
exec bin/dev
Make it executable with chmod +x script/server.
4. Update Rails Config Files
For each of the following files, if they exist and contain Redis configuration, update them to use ENV.fetch('REDIS_URL', ...) or ENV['REDIS_URL'] with a fallback:
