Example Playbook

Test on local Docker host

This project run tests on Travis CI, but we can also run then on local Docker host. Please check install, before_script, and script sections of .travis.yml. We can use same steps of them for local Docker host.

Local requirements are as follows.

• Ansible (>= 2.0.0)
• Docker (>= 1.10.1)

Notes

1. Installed Ruby version depends on the contents package system of each platform provides.

• Debian: APT
• Alpine Linux: APK
• OSX: Homebrew

But at least, this role ensures that the supported platforms install Ruby(>= 2.0). This version constraints is needed to run Serverspec.

2. And this role installs not only ruby interpreter, but also Bundler. Bundler installation(with RubyGems) is affected by some environment variables. For example,

• GEM_HOME
• GEM_PATH
• BUNDLE_PATH

This role doesn't set above variables in the target host, thus the role user must be responsible for handling them properly.

And you'll need root privilege when user who runs Ansible doesn't have write permission for gem directory. In this case, please use ruby_gem_installation_become role variable.

3. This role also installs packages for building Ruby extention modules. If you don't need them, please remove them in your playbook.

• build-essential, ruby-dev (Debian)
• build-base, ruby-dev (Alpine Linux)
