DESCRIPTION
Stickler is a tool to organize and maintain an internal gem repository.
Primarily, you would want to use Stickler if:
- You have proprietary gems that you want to have available via a gem server so
you may
gem install them.
- You would like to have a local mirror of third party gems from either
http://rubygems.org or some other gem server.
- You want both (1) and (2) in the same server.
INSTALLATION
Installing stickler may be done via the standard gem installation
gem install stickler
Or downloaded from
http://github.com/copiousfreetime/stickler/downloads
USAGE
Stickler is broken up into a few commandline programs.
-
stickler - Used to mainpulate gems that are in a stickler-server.
-
stickler-server - The server process that manages gems.
-
stickler-passenger-config - A helper process to generate Passenger configurations for
The easiest way to get up and running with stickler is to run the standalone
server
stickler-server and then use
stickler to interact with it.
Start up a standalone stickler server
% mkdir -p /tmp/stickler-test
% stickler-server start --daemonize /tmp/stickler-test
Set some sane defaults
% stickler config --add --server http://localhost:6789 --upstream https://rubygems.org
server : http://localhost:6789
upstream : https://rubygems.org
% cat ~/.gem/stickler
---
:server: http://localhost:6789
:upstream: https://rubygems.org
Take a few gems and push them to the server
% ls -1
heel-2.0.0.gem
hitimes-1.1.1.gem
launchy-0.3.5.gem
stickler-2.0.0.gem
% stickler push *.gem
Pushing gem(s) to http://localhost:6789/ ...
/Users/jeremy/tmp/gems/heel-2.0.0.gem -> OK http://localhost:6789/gems/heel-2.0.0.gem
/Users/jeremy/tmp/gems/hitimes-1.1.1.gem -> OK http://localhost:6789/gems/hitimes-1.1.1.gem
/Users/jeremy/tmp/gems/launchy-0.3.5.gem -> OK http://localhost:6789/gems/launchy-0.3.5.gem
/Users/jeremy/tmp/gems/stickler-2.0.0.gem -> OK http://localhost:6789/gems/stickler-2.0.0.gem
Mirror a gem from upstream
% stickler mirror --gem-version 1.4.3 logging
Asking http://localhost:6789/ to mirror logging-1.4.3 from rubygems.org : OK -> http://localhost:6789/gems/logging-1.4.3.gem
% stickler mirror --gem-version 1.16.2 trollop
Asking http://localhost:6789/ to mirror trollop-1.16.2 from rubygems.org : OK -> http://localhost:6789/gems/trollop-1.16.2.gem
Look at all the gems installed in your stickler server
Open your browser to http://localhost:6789
% launchy http://localhost:6789
Install a gem from your new stickler gem server
% gem install hitimes --source http://localhost:6789/
Configure your servers to globally use your internal stickler gem server
% cat /etc/gemrc
