Documentation

crayfishx/gemsource — version 0.2.0 Nov 17th 2015

Module: gemsource

Description

Simple Puppet type and provider for managing gem sources

Usage

The gemsource module will add a gemsource type to puppet and enable you to add a custom gemsource to your system. You can add a custom gemsource for Puppet Enterprise or open source puppet. The gemsource will also remove a gemsource if present.

Parameters

  • ensure: [present,absent] Specify whether the source is present or not.
  • globalconfig: [true,false] If true then gem sources will be configured in /etc/gemrc
  • pe: [true,false] If you are using Puppet Enterprise and want to manage the sources of the inbuilt Rubygems rather than the distro, use the pe flag

Examples

gemsource { 'http://rubygems.org/':
  ensure => absent,
}

gemsource { 'http://private.repo/':
  ensure => present,
}

gemsource { 'http://another.repo/':
  ensure       => present,
  globalconfig => true,

Caveats

The puppet service will run as root with no environment set on Systemd enabled systems. Typically CentOS 7.x and Ubuntu 14.04. This has the effect of creating a .gemrc file in the / directory. Please refer to ENTERPRISE-833 for more detail.

The puppet provider uses the gem command to add a new source, and is thus bound by its limitations. Specifically `gem source --add' will try and connect to the repository and will fail to add the repository if it can't connect.
