I'm always frustrated when Gitpod build fails and I can't understand what is written .gitpod.Dockerfile
, or when I need to copy-paste such code.
https://github.com/gitpod-io/website/pull/2836 modifies instructions for using a different version of Ruby https://www.gitpod.io/docs/introduction/languages/ruby
FROM gitpod/workspace-full
USER gitpod
# Install Ruby version 2.7.6 and set it as default
RUN _ruby_version=ruby-2.7.6 \
&& printf "rvm_gems_path=/home/gitpod/.rvm\n" > ~/.rvmrc \
&& bash -lc "rvm reinstall ${_ruby_version} && \
rvm use ${_ruby_version} --default" \
&& printf "rvm_gems_path=/workspace/.rvm" > ~/.rvmrc \
&& printf '{ rvm use $(rvm current); } >/dev/null 2>&1\n' >> "$HOME/.bashrc.d/70-ruby"
Instead of forcing people to copy-paste bash lines, it would be more convenient to provide a helper script switch_ruby.sh <version>
that does the setup.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
FROM gitpod/workspace-full
USER gitpod
# Install Ruby version 2.7.6 and set it as default
RUN /home/gitpod/switch_ruby.sh 2.7.6
I am not sure what's the best path to place it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is to call the script from .gitpod.yml
.
Actually, I'd like to install Ruby from any image. Like from Node image.
