omnibus-ruby is an open source tool developed by Chef company that helps developers package Ruby applications into self-contained executables. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install omnibus-ruby on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
Since omnibus-ruby is built on top of Ruby, we need to install some dependencies before we can start the installation. OpenSUSE comes with all the required dependencies, and we can install them using the following command:
sudo zypper install ruby ruby-devel gcc gcc-c++ make rpm-build
This command will install Ruby, Ruby Dev tools, GCC Compiler, Make, and RPM Build on your OpenSUSE server.
Once we have installed the required dependencies, we can install the omnibus toolchain. The omnibus toolchain is used to build and package Ruby applications into self-contained executables.
Run the following command to install omnibus on your OpenSUSE server:
sudo gem install omnibus
This command will download and install the latest version of omnibus toolchain on your OpenSUSE server.
Now that we have omnibus installed on our server let's use it to install omnibus project. Here are the steps to do it:
Clone the omnibus project from Github using the following command :
git clone https://github.com/chef/omnibus.git
This command will download the omnibus project to your current working directory.
Change into the directory that has the cloned code using the following command:
cd omnibus
Run the following command to install the omnibus-ruby
bundle install --path=vendor/bundle
This command will install all the needed gems required to build the omnibus-ruby.
Now that we have installed omnibus-ruby on our OpenSUSE server let's test it by creating a new project using the following command:
omnibus new my_project
This command will create a new omnibus project called my_project in your current working directory.
We can now build the project using the following command:
cd my_project
bundle exec omnibus build my_project
This command will build the project and create a package that you can distribute easily.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the installation of omnibus-ruby on OpenSUSE Latest. We have covered the basics of installation, dependencies, and building projects. Omnibus-ruby helps us to package Ruby applications into self-contained executables that can be run on any platform without the need for additional dependencies. Now that you have omnibus-ruby installed, you can use it to package and distribute all your Ruby applications easily.
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!
