RVM::FW Edition

Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate

RVM::FW works really well to make it possible to use RVM (or rbenv even) inside a restrictive LAN or Firewall just like you do at home.

Setup RVM::FW

  1. Clone RVM::FW:

     $ git clone git://github.com/stevenhaddox/rvm_fw.git
 $ bundle install

  2. Create & modify config/rubies.yml.

  3. Download Rubiez and packages:

     $ bundle exec rake boot:strap

  4. Archive your local setup of RVM::FW and import it into your network.

  5. Deploy! RVM::FW is a simple Sinatra application so you can deploy it anywhere you have Ruby or Rack available internally!

How to Use RVM::FW Once It's Deployed

View a demo to see RVM::FW's user views & instructions for how to setup and use RVM internally. Obviously there are no rubies due to file-size / RVM itself existing on the real Internet.

Just visit: http(s)://<your_host>:<port>/db to get a plain-text file that your users need to copy and paste into: ~/.rvm/user/db. This file overrides the defaults built into RVM's ~/.rvm/config/db and will point it to your RVM::FW instance to download it's rubies.

You can also visit: http(s)://<your_host>:<port>/known to get a plain-text file that a user can be put into: ~.rvm/config/known. This will provide a more a accurate list of available rubies when a user runs rvm list known.

Easter Egg

Bonus: If you're an rbenv fan but still stuck in a restricted environment you can use RVM::FW as a simple way to host a central location to keep your Ruby source code. Accessing your desired version of Ruby for rbenv is as simple as querying http(s)://<your_host>:<port>/public/rubies/<ruby_platform>/<ruby_specific_path>. All the Ruby source paths & packages are easily discoverable within the config/rubies.yml file.

Adding More Rubiez

We're looking into rendering the views for db.erb and known.erb dynamically based upon your custom configuration or the default configuration of config/rubies.yml, but until then you have to manually update and maintain the following files:

Special thanks to those who've contributed and helped me maintain RVM::FW over the years.
