Ansible RVM role

This Ansible role installs RVM and the required ruby version. Installation is possible for system or for single user (without root privileges)

Requirements

Tested with CentOS 6.4, 6.5, 7.0, Debian 6.0.10, 7.8, 8.1, Fedora 18, 19, 20, 21, Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, 13.10, 14.04, 14.10

Role Variables

• rvm_install_type per default set to system (valid values: system, user)
• rvm_default_ruby_version per default set to ruby-2.2.2
• rvm_auto_update_rvm per default set to true
• rvm_autolibs per default set to 3 - controls automatic installation of dependencies of rvm and ruby (if needed)
  • 0 -> Do not do anything (not installing dependencies and ruby or rvm can be unusable after installation)
  • 1 -> Use available libs, ignore missing (ruby or rvm can be unusable after installation)
  • 2 -> Use libs, fail if some are missing (good option for local installation on user without package manager access)
  • 3 -> Use libs, install missing libs (works if you have package manager rights)
  • 4 -> Install missing package manager (only OSX, on Linux it's like 3)
• rvm_url per default set to https://get.rvm.io
• rvm_root per default set to /usr/local/rvm
• rvm_init_script per default set to /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

The last two variables are set according to whether a system-wide install (Multi-User install), or a Single-User install has been chosen with rvm_install_type.

The palybook should runs on user with sufficient permissions:

• to install dependencies via apt or yum if you do not have installed curl and gnupg2 pakages
• to install dependencies via apt or yum if you set rvm_autolibs to 3 or 4 (default 3)
• to install in system path for example in system mode (rvm_install_type variable)

If you want to install on unprivileged user you should have system dependencies installed and set:

• rvm_install_type to user
• rvm_autolibs prefably to 2

When the playbook is run with rvm_install_type = user, the playbook will install RVM to the home directory of the ansible_ssh_user. The defaults for the last two variables are then:

• rvm_root: ~/.rvm
• rvm_init_script: ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
