Rubygems Cookbook

This cookbook configures "system" and Omnibus Chef gem sources, as well as providing the rubygems_api resource, which lets you manage ownership of gems on rubygems.org.

Requirements

Chef

• 12.7 or later

Usage

There are two ways to use this cookbook. The legacy way is to set the desired attributes and simply include_recipe 'rubygems'. The modern and recommended way is to call the gemrc and/or bundle_config resources as shown in the Resources section below.

Attributes

# From attributes/default.rb
default['rubygems']['gem_disable_default'] = false
default['rubygems']['gem_sources'] = [ 'https://rubygems.org' ]
default['rubygems']['chef_gem_disable_default'] = false
default['rubygems']['chef_gem_sources'] = [ 'https://rubygems.org' ]

Resources

This cookbook provides two simple resources which allow you to set any key/value configuration for the gemrc or bundle config files. Additionaly this cookbook provides the rubygems_api resource, which lets you manage ownership of gems on rubygems.org.

rubygems_api

rubygems_api do
  gem "chef" do
    owners << "jkeiser"
  end
end

Or this:

rubygems_api do
  user "jkeiser" do
    owned_gems << "chef"
  end
end

If you want to set owners or owned_gems to a specific set of users and have it remove all others, you can add purge true to either user or gem resource.

To talk to a custom gem server, you can say rubygems_api "https://otherserver.com" do ... end. You can also modify the API key you are by specifying the api_key property under rubygems_api.
