Puppet-Rbenv

About

This project provides manifests for the installation of rbenv (Ruby Version Management).

Rbenv installation

You can use the module in your manifest with the following code:

rbenv::install { "someuser":
  group => 'project'
  home  => '/project'
}

This will apply an rbenv installation under "someuser" home dir and place it into ".rbenv". You can change the resource title to your taste, and pass the user on which install rbenv using the user parameter.

The rbenv directory can be changed by passing the "root" parameter, that must be an absolute path.

Ruby compilation

To compile a ruby interpreter, you use rbenv::compile as follows:

rbenv::compile { "1.9.3-p370":
  user => "someuser",
  home => "/project",
}

The resource title is used as the ruby version, but if you have multiple rubies under multiple users, you'll have to define them explicitly:

rbenv::compile { "foo/1.8.7":
  user => "foo",
  ruby => "1.8.7-p370",
}

rbenv::compile { "bar/1.8.7":
  user => bar",
  ruby => "1.8.7-p370",
}

rbenv rehash is performed each time a new ruby or a new gem is installed.

You can use the global => true parameter to set an interpreter as the default (rbenv global) one for the given user. Please note that only one global is allowed, duplicate resources will be defined if you specify multiple global ruby version.

You can also provide a custom build definition to ruby-build by specifying a source that can either be a puppet: source or a file to be downloaded using wget:

rbenv::compile { "patched-ree":
  user   => "someuser",
  home   => "/project",
  source => "puppet://path-to-definition"
}

Gem installation

You can install and keep gems updated for a specific ruby interpreter:

rbenv::gem { "unicorn":
  user => "foobarbaz",
  ruby => "1.9.3-p370",
}

Gems are handled using a custom Package provider that handles gems, somewhat inspired by Puppet's Package one - thus absent and latest work as expected.

rbenv plugins

To add a plugin to a rbenv installation, you use rbenv::plugin as follows:

rbenv::plugin { "my-plugin":
  user   => "someuser",
  source => "git://github.com/user/my-plugin.git"
}

There's also a built-in resource to add rbenv-vars for a user:

rbenv::plugin::rbenvvars { "someuser":
  # Optional:
  # source => "git://path-to-your/custom/rbenv-vars.git"
}

NOTICE: rbenv::install automatically requires ruby-build to compile rubies, if you want to use a different repository, it you can specify the resource on a separate manifest:

rbenv::plugin::rubybuild { "someuser":
  source => "git://path-to-your/git/repo"
}
