Omnibus-Ruby is a tool that helps in creating full-stack installers based on Ruby. It provides a simple way to package any Ruby application with its dependencies into a single and deployable unit. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Omnibus-Ruby on a Fedora Server Latest system.
Before we proceed, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, we need to install Git, which is a distributed version control system. Omnibus-Ruby is hosted on GitHub, and we'll use Git to clone the repository.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git
Next, we'll clone the Omnibus-Ruby repository from its official GitHub page. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/chef/omnibus.git
This will create a new directory named "omnibus," which will contain the Omnibus-Ruby codebase.
Omnibus-Ruby requires Ruby and Bundler to be installed on your system. Use the following commands to install them:
sudo dnf install ruby
sudo gem install bundler
The first command installs Ruby, while the second command installs Bundler, which is a Ruby package manager.
Omnibus-Ruby requires some system-level dependencies to function correctly. Use the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install libxml2 libxslt libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel readline-devel ncurses-devel openssl-devel ld-linux.so.2 libcrypto.so.10 libssl.so.10
This command installs the necessary dependencies for Omnibus-Ruby to function correctly.
Now that we have installed all the required dependencies, let's build Omnibus-Ruby. Run the following command in the "omnibus" directory:
sudo bundle install --binstubs
This command installs all the required Ruby gems that are necessary to build Omnibus-Ruby. It may take some time to complete.
Once Omnibus-Ruby has finished building, let's test the installation by running the following command:
omnibus build chef
This command will build the Chef installer package using Omnibus-Ruby. If everything is working correctly, you should see the output directory containing the Chef installer package.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Omnibus-Ruby on your Fedora Server Latest system.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Omnibus-Ruby on Fedora Server Latest. We started by installing Git, then cloned the Omnibus-Ruby repository from GitHub. We then installed Ruby and Bundler, the dependencies necessary to run Omnibus-Ruby.
Next, we installed the system dependencies, built Omnibus-Ruby, and tested the installation by building a Chef installer package. Now that you have successfully installed Omnibus-Ruby, you can use it to create deployable Ruby applications with ease.
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!
