Ansible Role `rbenv`

This is a basic Ansible role to install and enable rbenv on Ubuntu. It should also work on macOS. It performs the following tasks:

Install rbenv.
Add rbenv to path.
(Optionally) install ruby-build as an rbenv plugin.

Variables

Variable name	Default value	Description
`rbenv_users`	`[]`	An array of users who need `rbenv` installed. Each item should include `user` and `group`.
`rbenv_users_home_path_prefix`	`/home`	Path (from `/`) to the parent directory containing users on the system (should be identical to `$HOME`, and should not include a trailing slash). Default value works on macOS.
`use_rbenv_extension`	`True`	Whether or not "to compile dynamic bash extension to speed up rbenv."
`rbenv_profile_file`	`.bashrc`	Name of profile file to use when adding `rbenv` to path (e.g. `.bash_profile`, `.bashrc`, `.zshrc` etc).
`rbenv_export_line`	`'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"'`	The line to add to the profile file above to add rbenv to path.
`install_ruby_build`	`True`	Whether or not to install `ruby-build` as an `rbenv` plugin.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - ansible-role-rbenv
  vars:
    rbenv_users_home_path_prefix: "/home"
    rbenv_users:
      - {
        user: "ctorgalson",
        group: "ctorgalson"
      }
    rbenv_profile_file: ".zshrc"
