The rails way to do this (update page when stuff happens at the server) is ActionCable https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_cable_overview.html
It runs on websockets and allows the server to push information to the browser. Your javascript on the page then needs to know what to do with that information. It is typically slightly more complex to host than a 'regular' site as you probably need Redis running.
