Omnibus-Ruby is a tool that allows you to package Ruby applications and their dependent libraries as standalone executable files, without needing to install them on the host system. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Omnibus-Ruby on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of Omnibus-Ruby, it is recommended that you update your system to ensure that you have the latest software packages installed.
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
The next step is to install the dependencies required by Omnibus-Ruby.
sudo apk add build-base ruby-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev openssl-dev zlib-dev
To install Omnibus-Ruby, we will first need to clone the repository from Github.
git clone https://github.com/chef/omnibus.git
Next, we need to navigate into the cloned directory and run the following commands:
bundle install --binstubs
./bin/omnibus build omnibus-ruby -l internal
This will build and install Omnibus-Ruby in the /opt/omnibus-ruby directory.
In order to use Omnibus-Ruby, we need to add its path to the system path. To do this, we need to add the following line to the /etc/profile file:
export PATH="/opt/omnibus-ruby/bin:$PATH"
Once you have saved the changes, reload the configuration file:
source /etc/profile
At this point, you should be able to use Omnibus-Ruby on your Alpine Linux Latest system.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Omnibus-Ruby on Alpine Linux Latest. With Omnibus-Ruby, you can package Ruby applications and their dependencies as standalone executables, which makes them easy to distribute and deploy.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
