WARNING - Please read!

There is currently a major rewrite going on with this cookbook to simplify the interface to RVM with Chef. Expect the master branch to be very broken until there is a 1.0 release. All previous pull requests will need to rebase to the newer master to contribute to the newly re-factored resources.

Description

Manages system-wide and per-user RVMs and manages installed Rubies. Several resources are defined to accomplish these tasks.

Requirements

Chef

Tested on 12.5.1 but older versions of chef may not work due to the changes in the resource model. You are welcome to submit a pull request to add this support.

File an issue if this isn't the case.

Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the recipes and LWRPs run on these platforms without error:

ubuntu (12.04 and higher)
debian (6.0 and newer)
mac_os_x (10.6/10.7) (See Platform Notes)
mac_os_x_server (See Platform Notes)
suse (openSUSE, SLES)
centos
amazon (2011.09)
scientific
redhat
fedora
gentoo

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Platform Notes

OSX

This cookbook suggests the homebrew cookbook, which is needed to install any additional packages needed to compile ruby. RVM now ships binary rubies, but will require homebrew to install any additional libraries.

Cookbooks

If you are installing JRuby then a Java runtime will need to be installed. The Opscode java cookbook can be used on supported platforms.

Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

Using Berkshelf

Berkshelf is a way to manage a cookbook or an application's cookbook dependencies. Include the cookbook in your Berksfile, and then run berks install. To install using Berkshelf:

    gem install berkshelf
    cd chef-repo
    berks init
    echo "cookbook 'rvm', github: 'fnichol/chef-rvm'" >> Berksfile
    berks install

Using Librarian-Chef

Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks. Include a reference to the cookbook in a Cheffile and run librarian-chef install. To install Librarian-Chef:

    gem install librarian-chef
    cd chef-repo
    librarian-chef init
    cat >> Cheffile <<END_OF_CHEFFILE
    cookbook 'rvm',
      :git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm.git', :ref => 'v0.10.1'
    END_OF_CHEFFILE
    librarian-chef install

Recipes

default
