Use railsadmin as root app

Question

I am using rails_admin as main app and i would like to have it accessible via / and not /admin path.

My current routes files looks like this:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  mount RailsAdmin::Engine => '/admin', as: 'rails_admin'
  devise_for :users
  root 'dashboard#index'
end

dashboard is just a simple page with a link to /admin that i want to get rid off.

A simple mount RailsAdmin::Engine => '/', as: 'rails_admin' does not work out as there is a redirect loop (from devise i guess).

Logs are

Was a devise issue and i found a solution in https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/Troubleshoot Had to switch devise infront of engine mounting.

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  mount RailsAdmin::Engine => '/', as: 'rails_admin'
  root 'dashboard#index'
end
