DESCRIPTION: ↑

Sets up a local gem server repository.

REQUIREMENTS: ↑

Platform: ↑

Tested on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04.

Cookbooks: ↑

Opscode cookbooks, github.com/opscode/cookbooks/tree/master

  • apache2

ATTRIBUTES: ↑

  • gem_server - ServerName for Apache vhost. Default ‘gems.domain’.

  • gem_server - ServerAlias(es) for Apache vhost. Default ‘gems’.

  • gem_server - Filesystem location for the repository, default is /srv/gems.

USAGE: ↑

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.
