Puppet::RVM

Manage RVM installations using the Puppet configuration management system.

Basic Usage

node rvmbox {
    rvm::environment { 'apache':                        } ->
    rvm::ruby        { 'apache:ruby-1.9.3-head':        } ->
    rvm::gemset      { 'apache:ruby-1.9.3-head@gollum': }
}

Caveats

It is not fully tested or documented yet. Also, it does not have any way to force the uninstallation of an RVM environment/ruby/gemset. Both of these things are coming.

A similar module exists at https://github.com/blt04/puppet-rvm. However, it installs a copy as a global package and users must be added to the appropriate group to access it. While this set of resource types manages things differently, several of the ideas were taken from there, including some of the shell scripts to execute.

Justin King (@jufineath) found an alternate way to specify home directories which was more portable and invaluable to crossing a few hurdles during the installation step.
