Sets up a local gem server repository.
- Current public release.
- Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10
- apache2
- rsync
gem_server[:virtual_host_name]
- ServerName for Apache vhost. Default 'gems.domain'.gem_server[:virtual_host_alias]
- ServerAlias(es) for Apache vhost. Default 'gems'.gem_server[:directory]
- Filesystem location for the repository, default is /srv/gems.
Create files/default/packages, and copy gems to that directory.
Specify the gem source on clients via the command line, for example:
sudo gem source -a http://gems
sudo gem install rails --source http://gems
Or use the source with gem_package resources in your chef recipes.
gem_package "rails" do
source "http://gems"
end
Use the gems::mirror recipe to mirror RubyForge. This will take a long time because the repository is 28k+ gems and over 5.5G. It will also override the remote_directory resource to not notify gem generate_index, and instead handle that in the cron job that does the rsync.
