Ruby

Compiles and install ruby using ruby-build on RHEL based OS'es.

Security

rbenv-build download location

Due some business requirements, some may be required to possess the installation files for rbenv-build. For that reason, you have an option to upload the ruby-build installation files yourself into your host and point it in your rbenv_targz_url var.

Compile and runs ruby as an unprivileged user

You may probably want to compile and run ruby as an unprivileged user, so the config by default assumes that you have an deploy user. If you want to disable it or change this user, just change the use_unprivileged_user and unprivileged_user_name vars.

Requirements

Tested with Ansible 1.9 and 2.0.

Role Variables

ruby_install_path - Path where ruby will be installed, default to $HOME/.rubies/ruby-2.2.4
ruby_version - Full version of the ruby to install (MRI) default to 2.2.4
rbenv_targz_url - Set it to the downloaded tar.gz from ruby-build releases.
use_unprivileged_user - Sets whether you are sudoing to a different user.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: kuon.ruby, ruby_install_path: '/opt/ruby' }
