Lots of checks in the Sensu community plugins have ruby dependencies that are not always easy to be satisfied. This can be a problem for multiple reasons:
- Production nodes use to have restrictions with the access to internet
- Nobody really wants to install build tools in production servers
- You may want to control what version of a gem is installed in your servers
- You may want to use the embedded ruby and/or don't install a system-wide one
This simple script tries to minimize these problems by offering a straight-forward way to quickly generate debian packages from gems.
It uses docker to start a clean debian with sensu and the embedded ruby to retrieve and build the gems with fpm.
It also builds all gem dependencies as separated debian packages.
- Install docker
./build.sh -d debian_dependency1 -d debian_dependency2 gempackage./build.sh -g gem_dependency1 -g gem_dependency,2.3.4 gempackage- e.g:
DISTRIBUTIONS=jessie ./build.sh -d libmysqlclient-dev -d activesupport,2.4.7 mysql - You'll have the debian packages in the out directory
By default, it builds the package for all the distributions in the dockerfiles
directory set DISTRIBUTIONS environment variable to the space-separated list of
distributuions you want to build for.
Or use directly the pre-built dockers
