## What is rvm1-ansible? [](http://travis-ci.org/rvm/rvm1-ansible)
|
|
|
|
It is an [Ansible](http://www.ansible.com/home) role to install and manage ruby versions using rvm.
|
|
|
|
### Why should you use rvm?
|
|
|
|
In production it's useful because compiling a new version of ruby can easily
|
|
take upwards of 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes of your CPU being pegged at 100%.
|
|
|
|
rvm has pre-compiled binaries for a lot of operating systems. That means you can
|
|
install ruby in about 1 minute, even on a slow micro instance.
|
|
|
|
This role even adds the ruby binaries to your system path when doing a system
|
|
wide install. This allows you to access them as if they were installed without
|
|
using a version manager while still benefiting from what rvm has to offer.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
`$ ansible-galaxy install rvm_io.rvm1-ruby`
|
|
|
|
## Role variables
|
|
|
|
Below is a list of default values that you can configure:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Install 1 or more versions of ruby
|
|
rvm1_rubies:
|
|
- 'ruby-2.1.3'
|
|
|
|
# Delete a specific version of ruby (ie. ruby-2.1.0)
|
|
rvm1_delete_ruby:
|
|
|
|
# Install path for rvm (defaults to system wide)
|
|
rvm1_install_path: '/usr/local/rvm'
|
|
|
|
# Add or remove any install flags
|
|
# NOTE: If you are doing a USER BASED INSTALL then
|
|
# make sure you ADD the --user-install flag below
|
|
rvm1_install_flags: '--auto-dotfiles'
|
|
|
|
# Set the owner for the rvm directory
|
|
rvm1_user: 'root'
|
|
|
|
# URL for the latest installer script
|
|
rvm1_rvm_latest_installer: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer'
|
|
|
|
# rvm version to use
|
|
rvm1_rvm_version: 'stable'
|
|
|
|
# Check and update rvm, disabling this will force rvm to never update
|
|
rvm1_rvm_check_for_updates: True
|
|
|
|
# GPG key verification, use an empty string if you want to skip this
|
|
# Note: Unless you know what you're doing, just keep it as is
|
|
# Identity proof: https://keybase.io/mpapis
|
|
# PGP message: https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc
|
|
rvm1_gpg_keys: 'D39DC0E3'
|
|
|
|
# The GPG key server
|
|
rvm1_gpg_key_server: 'hkp://keys.gnupg.net'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example playbook
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
- name: Configure servers with ruby support
|
|
hosts: all
|
|
|
|
roles:
|
|
- { role: rvm_io.rvm1-ruby, tags: ruby, sudo: True }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### System wide installation
|
|
|
|
The above example would setup ruby system wide. It's very important that you
|
|
run the play with sudo because it will need to write to `/usr/local/rvm`.
|
|
|
|
#### To the same user as `ansible_ssh_user`
|
|
|
|
In this case, just overwrite `rvm_install_path` and set the `--user-install` flag:
|
|
|
|
**Note:** you still need to use sudo because during the ruby
|
|
installation phase rvm will internally make calls using sudo
|
|
to install certain ruby dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rvm1_install_flags: '--auto-dotfiles --user-install'
|
|
rvm1_install_path: '/home/{{ ansible_ssh_user }}/.rvm'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### To a user that is not `ansible_ssh_user`
|
|
|
|
You **will need sudo here** because you will be writing outside the ansible
|
|
user's home directory. Other than that it's the same as above, except you will
|
|
supply a different user account:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rvm1_install_flags: '--auto-dotfiles --user-install'
|
|
rvm1_install_path: '/home/someuser/.rvm'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### A quick note about `rvm1_user`
|
|
|
|
In some cases you may want the rvm folder and its files to be owned by a specific
|
|
user instead of root. Simply set `rvm1_user: 'foo'` and when ruby gets installed
|
|
it will ensure that `foo` owns the rvm directory.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading and removing old versions of ruby
|
|
|
|
A common work flow for upgrading your ruby version would be:
|
|
|
|
1. Install the new version
|
|
2. Run your application role so that bundle install re-installs your gems
|
|
3. Delete the previous version of ruby
|
|
|
|
### Leverage ansible's `--extra-vars`
|
|
|
|
Just add `--extra-vars 'rvm1_delete_ruby=ruby-2.1.0'` to the end of your play book command and that version will be removed.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Tested on ubuntu 12.04 LTS but it should work on other versions that are similar.
|
|
- Tested on RHEL6.5 and CentOS 6.5
